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!
