My fridge seems to be rated around 60W averaged out - that's pretty low for a regular PC. My server is lower (~40W) but desktops are usually more than that (although it depends greatly on load). -- radish 'HELP ME RAISE MONEY FOR CHILDREN'S CANCER RESEARCH!'

It runs a number of things including Squeezecenter, some VMs, etc. Last I checked it was using about 100-120W. I use an 80+ PSU (antec earthwatts) and all the standard tricks to reduce the CPU frequency of things. -- SuperQ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68159 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Going green with a Transporter
Speaking of, how many kwh are people using for their homes, what % of this goes to running music equipment. Me and my SO use about 250kwh/month. The TP is about 2.6kwh/month (1%). My primary PC which I use for working from home, running squeezecenter, etc uses about 80kwh/month (30%), but I need to re-measure this since I did a few changes to it. My fridge in my last apartment used about 60kwh/month (25%). I need to go around and audit the power usage of my other stuff. I suspect a large chunk of the power in my new apartment is lighting. There are a number of halogen tube lights that are built-in to the walls that I can't replace with CFL or other efficient lighting. -- SuperQ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68159 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Going green with a Transporter
I do the opposite. I leave my TP on all the time and use IR-Blaster to turn my amplifier on/off when I want to play music. The amplifier uses a lot more power than the TP. The TP will typically use about $3-5/year in electricity. That's about 1% of the power I use in my house. -- SuperQ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68159 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Pressing the power button just tells the server what screen to show, brightness level and to stop playing. That is all. Power consumption should be exactly the same. it is still receiving data to update the screen and although there will be less load on the CPU, this will make a negligible difference to power consumption. -- funkstar my collection: *1*x squeezebox radio *1*x squeezebox touch *1*x squeezebox boom *2*x controller, *1*x receiver *2*x sb3 (sliver/black), *1*x sb2 wired (silver) *1*x sb (black), *1*x slimp3 (with rear shield) interested in any others if you have them! funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68159 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Going green with a Transporter
Hi, today on my SB Classic, I have the power plugged into the switched outlet on my AV receiver, so that the squeezebox turns on when I switch on the AV receiver. I am replacing the SB with a transporter and want to know if doing this might damage the transporter. If I blow my SB Classic it is not the end of the world - but the transporter ... Seems like this would be no different than just plugging it in every time I wanted to use it, but am not sure if this causes any undo wear or problems as opposed to just powering it down to sleep mode.
