Well, yes and no.
During the “dry months” it can be a little over efficient. During the 110
degree days with less than 5% humidity, it can maintain the place at 80-85
degrees. During the monsoon (especially this last week), it can be miserable,
although cooler than outside. It was over 90 in
If this is just for learning, do you want or need it to run 24/7/365? If not,
you can shut it off when you don’t need it if you’re concerned about power.
Note that a lot of old PCs have power supplies where the fans run all the time.
They can end up consuming quite a bit of power.

Flash memory indeed has limited write cycles. However, by now it is
unlikely that you'll encounter this within the normal lifetime of such a

I barely notice the extra power on my monthly bill.

Well if you think about it, before you decided to run your computer 24/7
you probably have been running it about half that. Say 8-12 hours a day. So
your actual cost is most likely only half of what you calculated.

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.
