What's your server wattage? (lemmy.world)

I'm in the process of wiring a home before moving in and getting excited about running 10g from my server to the computer. Then I see 25g gear isn't that much more expensive so I might was well run at least one fiber line. But what kind of three node ceph monster will it take to make use of any of this bandwidth (plus run all my Proxmox VMs and LXCs in HA) and how much heat will I have to deal with. What's your experience with high speed homelab NAS builds and the electric bill shock that comes later? Epyc 7002 series looks perfect but seems to idle high.

I run a NUC11 so about 10W. 15-20€ per annum assuming a single tariff at 0.17€ per kwh. It can use up to 30W but only during heavy load which may be like 8 hours a week. But electricity is also cheaper during off peak hours so it averages to about that (we have 5 tariffs).

Load is NAS, media server, homeassistant and a usb zigbee router, *arr stack.

Power usage was my main concern and wanted something eco friendly.
