A server consumes about 70 watts if it's a PC, about 20 watts perhaps if it's a NAS.
The NAS I ordered today (not for my personal use, though) has 2x800Watt power supplies (and a processor more powerful than all my home servers together). I expect it to consume more than 20 watts. OTOH there's my PC based, dedicated slimserver which shouldn't use more than 25 watts. ;-)
But your idea is correct: there's much more in a SB installation than the 4-5 watts the device needs.
They have added support, 2 different ways (geek port and quieting the outputs) to turn off your amplifier when the SB is not in use.
Add a third to the list: custom IR codes. I'm using my amp's remote control to control the SB, too. Hitting the big green button top right will turn on both of them, big red means off.
Oh, and kuetstef? Ich kann Deutsch lesen.
