Completely fair, I was thinking of the little 15W desk lamp stuff, but the bigger/brighter incandescents could rival my desktop for sure!
Comment on Looking for recommendation to upgrade my Raspberry Pi-based home server

I was pretty surprised it was that low. I think there’s a 500W power supply in there. I never measured it when it was my desktop and had GPU.

Oh yeah… RAM and SSD are upgraded in those systems. At least the GMK cubes. I use those as clients for the media server. Delightfully easy too, the top just pulls off, SSD and RAM are right there.
Some models have EMMC storage that isn’t upgradeable but they also have an SSD.
