Hi guys
Ran out of hdd space on my nas, so i picked up 3x 2tb hdds @ 89 quid each, i have enough pc parts to build a server to stream media and files etc.
What would be the rough running costs of this in the uk atm ( i mean cost of the electric per month ) wouldnt be anything special. Amd dual core 1gb ram and those hdds.
Thanks
Matt

This is a really wierd post. Please think before posting next time.
But to "help out", my server consumes around 100-150 watts.

I have an i3 2100T system that in theory idles at ~9W and uses at most 45Wish when fully loaded. If it idled all day for a year I worked out a while ago it added an extra £12 to my yearly bill.
