Even if it's $75 more per month, then that's still doable.
Thanks,

easy.
you could use the spec sheets to figure it out... Get you last electric bill. It should tell you how much you pay per kw/hour. Figure out how many watts you will be using... Figure about 440W per loaded shelf and 220W per head (660W, .660KiloWatts) If I am doing the right math (and I may be waaay off here): .660KW * 24 Hours = 15.84 Kw/day * 30 days = 475.2 KW/month * .10 (10 cents) = 47.52/month
My electric co has peak/off-peak and intermediate that ranges from .08 -> .18 per kw/hour The average is supposed to be .10 per kw/hour.
like I said...I could be waaayyy off here.

are you ready for a wallop on your electric bill...
I used to stage demo equipment at home. Just running a power hungry netapp over the weeked caused my electric bill to spike...

I will be purchasing some NetApp equipment (yes the simulator is cheaper) and here is the quote;
F820 = $950.00 FC9 = $170.00/Each 225B 36GB HDD = $135.00/Each 226A 73GB = $190.00/Each
Of course I am going to cheaper route, but just wanted to get some comments on this.
