last I checked with a kill-a-watt I was drawing an average of 2.5kWh after a week of monitoring my whole rack. that was about three years ago and the following was running in my rack.
r610 dual 1kw PSU
homebuilt server Gigabyte 750w PSU
homebuilt Asus gaming rig 650w PSU
homebuilt Asus retro(xp) gaming/testing rig 350w PSU
HP laptop as dev env/warmsite ~ 200w PSU
Amcrest NVR 80w (I guess?)
HP T610 65w PSU
Terramaster F5-422 90w PSU
TP-Link TL-SG2424P 180w PSU
Brocade ICX6610-48P-E dual dual 1kw PSU
Misc routers, rpis, poe aps, modems(cable & 5G) ~ 700w combined (cameras not included, brocade powers them directly)
I also have two battery systems split between high priority and low priority infrastructure.

That doesn’t seem right; that’s only ~18W. Each one of those systems alone will exceed that at idle running 24/7. I’d expect 1-2 orders of magnitude more.
would love to add more fiber to my diet! if I had the time and money. next four years is going to get pricy so I’m solidifying my stack now with backup hardware and planning for failures.
the brocade is running my pvt lan since it’s the most important. physically cut off public access. just upgraded most my servers to use 10gbe and would love to run fiber to my office about 60-70 feet away.
the brocade I’m using was unlocked by the eBay seller I got it from, so it can theoretically transfer up to 40g. would be great for my AI rig I keep in the office.

Ugh, I need to get off my ass and install a rack and some fiber drops to finalize my network buildout.
