[What's your Power Consumption?]

Hey all,

 

As I am in the process of specifying new hardware for a 24 drive solar kits system and with purchasing my first Kill-a-watt meter, I was hoping that we could all post some figures to get an idea what current hardware/hard drives are producing in terms of power consumption. I want to build the lowest power 24 drive system I can... Yes, 24 drive and low power sounds like an oxymoron, but I don't want my windmill and solar panels to 'blow a fuse' 

 

I figured we ought to create an outline like all good threads on this forum use:

 

[b]OS at time of building:[/b] 
[b]CPU:[/b] 
[b]Motherboard:[/b] 
[b]RAM:[/b] 
[b]Case:[/b] 
[b]Drive Cage(s):[/b] 
[b]Power Supply:[/b] 
[b]SATA Expansion Card(s):[/b]
[b]Fans:[/b] 

[b]Total # of Drives:[/b] 
[b]Total # of ‘Green’ Drives :[/b] 
[b]Total Drive Capacity:[/b] 

[b]Boot (peak):[/b]
[b]Idle – drive spun down(avg):[/b]
[b]Parity Check(avg):[/b]
[b]Light use (avg):[/b]

 

Hello friend I know thread is bit old but were you able to build such an 24 drive system? It seems very exciting to me so can you provide some information? Waiting for reply thanks in advance:)
