Power consumption of my server

[DJMK4]

How much (Average) am i looking at paying for my p3 800mhz, 256mb ram, 250gb hdd, 64mb gfx card server running active directory, file server, download console, VPN and bandwidth management.

I dont want to clock up the pennies..

that depends on far too many variables, your electric costs, any reductions you get for time of day, how much load the server is typically under, how economical your PSU is, the list goes on and on
if you can get one of those nifty plugs that sits between pc and wall socket and monitors watt/hour then you will be able to work it out from that, but no one on here will be able to give you an accurate figure

I'm gonna go with 150W.

I'd say it prolly costs you between £3 and £4 a month to run it...

I'd say the average power useage is going to be around 45watts. (not including any monitor)
