Free monitors
Hello all, I've got 4 monitors in my garage I'd like to get rid of. One avp278, two acer h243h, and one Dell 30" 2560*1600. All work fine, but the Dell likely smells like stale cigars. If anyone is interested, I just need them gone.

Re: Name Cheap Registrar
I use GoDaddy to register, a2hosting to host my stuff. I've not used namecheap, but GoDaddy hasn't done me wrong in the registration area yet.

Re: Electrical costs to run a home web server
Aaron, It's a TP-Link Kasa 6 outlet strip I got off Amazon. Let's me monitor the actual wattage of the system and how much it's going to cost me to run. I can see daily, weekly, and monthly usage stats with it. I think it ran me about $50.

Re: Electrical costs to run a home web server
I have a system running 24/7 pulling about 19kWh according to the plug I have it on. The PSU is about 1650watts in total with about 950w used.
