I'd have to factor in all of my various servers and networking equipment......

There's something that could do with creative regulation, why do PCs
use 50-100W when laptops use 15W (including the screen!).

Have you ever visited a major data centre or network point of presence
and seen the electricity supply and cooling arrangements?

Are your servers at home a major data centre or point of prescence?

I meant the sort of PCs bought for home/office use.
