Comment on Thoughts about my (potential) first server?

I have an x3500m4 but found it using way too much energy for my requirements. A regular pc does the job for less than 25% of the electricity.
So, i’d say check your needs and the footprint. Electricity bill comes every month and something runnin 24/7 adds up real quick.

Do you have an estimate on the energy consumption?

Powered down 12 Watt which is just the PSU and the IMM (I had one power supply connected) Powered up 100 Watt
The IMM info, one PSU with 230 Volt feed: Image
Bear in mind I had no VM’s running…

Oh, so the spec is fairly correct at 97W idle.
And being an old, slow CPU means it’s not efficient at load either (higher peak consumption & longer precising time needed).

No idea. Built-in in the Imm firmware. Just partial screenshot from imm web gui
