A few months ago I had an inline unit that measured the power used by any connected appliance. A 20" CRT used 96 Watts / .86A when working. An old AMD K6-2 with 550MHz CPU drew 80 Watts / .69A when the HDD and CPU were running. The CPU ran hot, so was not too efficient.<br><br>John.<br><br><br>> Subject: [TLUG]: semi-OT: power requirements<br>> From: matt.price@utoronto.ca<br>> To: tlug-lxSQFCZeNF4@public.gmane.org<br>> Date: Wed, 17 Feb 2010 21:22:36 -0500<br>> <br>> hey folks,<br>> <br>> I'm putting together a proposal to build a linux-based computer lab<br>> using salvaged hardware in a public housing building, and realize i<br>> don't have a really good idea how much power i'm going to need in it.<br>> Has anyone on the list built computer labs, and do you know rules of<br>> thumb for energy requirements? these are older machines with CRT<br>> monitor, so though not quite as power-hungry as today's quad-cores,<br>> they're nowhere near as efficient as modern thin clients or the like. <br>> <br>> thanks much! all the best,<br>> matt<br>> <br>> -- <br>> Matt Price<br>> matt.price-H217xnMUJC0sA/PxXw9srA@public.gmane.org<br> </body>
