Yeah sure, those small pieces are marvels for stuff like that!

    It actually saves you decent money compared to regular optiplex. In 24h work power savings translate into meaningfully lower electricity cost over the year.

    I think mine is like 10 watts so not very expensive yearly, like 20€. And everyone forgets that for many, it's just energy you'd use for heating anyways during many months of the year.

    Yeah, but it's only 100% efficient at best. Heat pumps are 200% - 400% so it is not really a 1 to 1 as far as heating. And in warm months you have to offset that heat so it very well could be a net loss.

    Sure, that 20€ will really hit me hard 😁 /j

    Nice find about heat pump efficiency, I had not thought about that!
