A searchable database of measured idle power for mini PCs, NAS units and DIY home servers, with estimated yearly running costs.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-22 issue.

For: Homelab builders comparing always-on hardware
Worth noticing: Range measurements use a midpoint for the displayed figure; opening a row reveals the source’s exact wording.

Field notes

Visitors can narrow the table by hardware category and sort its columns; the page also offers a displayed electricity-price input for estimating annual idle costs. Its labels separate manufacturer claims from DC-side readings and community reports. When a source provides a range, the table shows the midpoint and says the exact wording is available by opening the row. Submission and newsletter features are presented as forthcoming rather than active.
