WHOA, that is a lot of energy. What CPU are you using? That thing must run HOT.

I’ve got a new setup (runs what you’re running and a few others) that takes in 60 watts. I live in SoCal, though, so our rates are insane. For me 350 watts would run me $125 a month. It’s so bad here…

Oh man, treat those drives well. The last 18TB drive I bought a few years back went up $500 in price!

Yeah man, that’s the perfect choice. I use a very similar card myself. They outperform gaming GPU’s for this purpose!

I want to point out that for a media server, OP’s GPU is excellent.

Sparkle ARC cards are the way to go for sure. The fans are a pain in the ass on Linux, though. They like to start and stop a lot.

I mean… Look at the setup, though.

Nobody is trying to be mean, it’s just a pretty rough setup where thermals are concerned. And OP appears to be dismissing every joke about it and claiming it’s not an issue.

Good luck, OP. Hope this is the hottest your place ever gets, in which case you might be alright. Just keep an eye on those temps since servers need to run very cool to avoid long term damage and wear and tear. Be extra cautious of your large array of HDD’s. Those can get hot and people don’t always think about that.

Edit: OP mentioned lower in the thread that they are pulling 300-350 watts from the wall. That is a lot of heat. Maybe they live in Alaska and keep their place at 55 degrees, though. We don’t know… But for those looking on and considering their own setup, a lot of red flags are here for those who have higher temps in their homes.

It feels disengenuous to say people vibe code things.

I know it’s correct English, I just think it’s kind of a bullshit statement.

When dumbasses talk to AI’s and the AI’s do things for them, it’s wild to think the credit goes to the dumbasses.

This is like your boss saying he did all your dev work and calling it “boss coding”.

Ah see… The problem here is that the front fell off.

Lol, cause who wants to use a single USB to interface with the laptop? That’s crazy.

Who are your talking to?

The Trump supporters I talk to are still fully supporting him. They have no issues because they agree with him to this day.

I spoke with one who seemed to disagree with the mass deportations, but the when I pressed them they admitted that they agree with it all. They even said Renee and Alex deserved what they got.

These are evil people, guys. Do not underestimate this.

I wish they would make another star wars mmo… RIP SWG.

No, the emulators aren’t the same.

Yeah, look at how long that coat jacket is! Looks like it’s at least 1220. Maybe the 1230’s, though.

I haven’t appreciated or enjoyed a single thing about windows 11.

Not a single thing.

I’ve hated at least a dozen changes profusely, though.

To add to my comment, many cheaper portable brands underperform greatly as well.

Get a rigid panel (not flexible) and you’ll see a huge improvement.

The flexible panels are great for keeping weight down, though. Probably the only way to go if you’re hiking or backpacking!

That’s a massive panel for so little wattage.

Look up 25% next time, they maximize the area! N-type’s are also great for enduring high temps and weathering high uv.

I don’t know what is hyperbole or real with Linux folks.

Seriously, I’m so tired of you people.

The price? $16,000.
