Power consumption is the 2nd thing i look for in my IT devices (first is “do I need internet/cloud services to run it” … Yes is an absolut disqualifier)

Ive got a R720 running a decent load at the moment pulling 90W, which is about what my laptop uses. So you can totally do rack mount machines that aren’t howling winter heaters.

Yeah true, but compared to what performance you can have with “normal” hardware, the difference is huge! I’m never saying it can’t be done, but the difference exists!
