Aye, I'm thinking of replacing the ones here with mini ATX based things.

Did you mean mini ITX? I'm using two of those in always-on servers, and
one in the small communal PC in the living room. I'll be converting the
Asterisk box (to-be) to one soon; currently it's running voicemail for
the dedicated PBX.

The 750VA UPS is normally running at a good 80% capacity for 18hrs/day.
Call that 600W * 18 = 10.8 units FECK ME! Naw that can't be right, can it?

Haven't added it up on all the UPSes, but the other always-on machines
are mostly 300MHz PIIs (the most economical PII CPU). One of the
mini-ITX machines runs off a CF card and has no hard disk. Another, at
30 watts, replaced a 150 watt machine on 24/7.

Where did I put my plug in power meter...

Never without mine right now...
