Electricity Savings for home lab
So, I have a kindof off the wall question. I've got 10 computers which I inherited from a charter school that closed that I did their admin work for. They're not servers, just workstations with ubuntu server running on them. I had them all up and running at one point... but crimineys the load on my electric was way too much for me to justify leaving them up and running.
I'm running them all headless since I obviously don't need a monitor. I'm trying to think of other ways I can save on the electric with these things. I was thinking of pulling unnecessary components like the vid cards and making sure I don't run the snot out of them... but I really don't have any other ideas than that.
Yes, I could run less than 10... but I'm sure y'all understand. I've got it in my head that I want to do something and darndable if I won't see if I can make it work!
(only board that has that emoticon, how fitting!)
So, any other ideas?
