I'd recommend any serious engineer to get a KillAWatt or two, and monitor some of the things around their home.

I'd recommend Uni-T UT210E can be used to design SMPS as well.. ;D

The figures I measured were at idle of a configured system. Consumption simply will not have been lower at any time. I'm sorry this doesn't support your argument, but that's the problem with biases.

I wasn't responding to you, and honestly I'm not sure what point you were trying to make. And my only argument is to suggest people look at the facts by actually measuring rather than supposing. Honestly I couldn't care less what anyone here chooses to do.

And yet I achieve uptimes measured in years with no REQUIRED TRUE SINE INVERTER in sight. No INVERTER at all, actually. Or anything else in all-caps you might want to mention..

Many countries are not familiar with a public power supply more reliable than the bulk of UPS solutions.

Why do we have this inrush of 11-year-old* gaming kids spewing 500 posts worth of arrogant bullshit in no time, on such fine engineering forum?

*) Physical or mental, doesn't matter

Is it the new general computing section?
