You once again have proven your lack of knowledge and critical thinking. First you have no idea what state the OP lives in yet you give advice with respect to power usage. In fact I can tell you he lives in a state with very high rates. He will make his money back in less than a year. Your flawed logic includes the purchase of a 300 dollar system, when a 150 dollar ivy bridge system would accomplish same.Trust me i'm fully aware of energy cost of my i5 Lynchfield CPU it uses 117 watts of power with a 60% CPU load which is also running 24/7. Now in my state the electricity cost is 0.08 (kWh) with that said it cost me 6.50 to 7.00 a month to run this pc 24/7 at 60% load. And it's about $80.00 to $82.00 a year,now my pc is using the highest power settings and is overclocked, so mine will be higher watts then normal. So going back to buying a new pc or using what you have. So even spending 300 on a new pc (which is cheap)for the Energy savings wouldn't pay off in a 3 year time frame. Also I do have tons experience in the tech field I have been working on computers at the age 8. Also im Cisco certified, A+ Certified, and Microsoft certified,I also am the technology leader in my company for the last 10 years. Again you say I no nothing because my views on the subject aren't the same as yours. And if it's not your solution to the problem it's always the wrong one. Meaning you think what you say is always right,and everyone else knows nothing. So obviously your statement above has two flase misleading solutions.
Electricity bill calculator | Energy cost calculator
You also dont understand the difference between the price for the electricity and distribution. Go look at your electric bill and see that you are charged more than 8c a kwh.
Finally you deliberately jabbed HP in this thread because you they pissed you off for some reason. You are deliberately misleading folks here. They make excellent machines. I am using many of them for 24/7 blue iris operation as well as many others in my business.
We both know those certifications are meaningless so PLEASE dont try to impress me. I have learned by reading your other posts that you are quite inept.
