Mine runs at 30watts at idle.
That powers 4 switches, 1AP, and my proxmox system (framework laptop motherboard) which runs my router and my services.
What is everyone else’s usage and what does it power?

I don’t know, but my electric bill is certainly painful.
About 45W for my router, fiber endpoint, switch, three wireless APs and a Pi4 running Home Assistant. I’ve got a synology running separately that I suspect uses more, but I haven’t measured it recently. Thinking about putting the synology in the crawlspace as it’s kinda loud.
I think I’m at 225 watts.
HP ProLiant us using 125 to 150 mostly, synology nas that consumes about 30, and I think the ubiquity stuff takes about 75 watts
110w ish. A Dell server with SSDs 370G ram, 2 sockets.
370G RAM ?!
150-180 watts up to 500 watts+ with my Dev box going full bore.
Avarage load for me is around 300w running two T320s, a R510, and a NUC. The T320s are clustered running plex, 'arrs, pihole/unbound, game servers, and odoo. The nuc serves two purposes, firstly to keep quorum in the cluster and secondarily as a low power device to run a secondary pihole/unbound instance incase the power goes out as it’s the only server that will stay on UPS power until the battery runs out. The R510 is my storage server with around 56TB and growing.
I am planning on adding a GPU server with a few tesla P40s as I’ve been using my workstation for these tasks which makes it difficult to use it for work.

Mine is ~300w @ 230v most of the day. It varies only on what is being used.
when power fails and i have to switch to generator, the servers stay about the same but I can add about 250w to that for my PC, modem(nbn) etc . (which is why i know this info!)
25w pc with 3 SSDs and idk how much w for rpi running 2nd pihole
Currently my UPS is reporting 207 watts, that’s with a unraid server (3600 + 32GB ram + 2060 super for plex, and 6 drives), a mini pc for pf sense, a rpi 4 running pihole and vpn server, a single poe ap, a modem, and security cameras… it can spike to 250w with multiple encodes going on from family … but overall not bad… I did have a dedicated 20A switch installed for just my network closet as well
~ 5 watts when I ran everything on an old laptop
~ 40 on my new desktop server
55W idle for 3 servers, network gear and UPS. I live in the US but electricity is still expensive and I try to keep everything efficient. My primary/most powerful server with 20TB of SSD only uses 22W idle.
My rack looks to pull about 325-350W. I need to downgrade my main server, as it’s a bit overkill as a decommed proliant. Need to figure out a high ram nuc as a replacement
Mine runs a little under 18 W with one 8 port managed switch, a DSL modem, CM4-based router, a tiny Wifi AP, and an Intel Celeron J4105 based mini PC server.
