      Yep, or all us self-hosters. I have a 200 watt machine that comes on at specified times to run Backups.

      Then there’s solar and batteries. Grow operations could setup a battery farm that charges slowly from the grid so it never shows a spike, and run everything off the batteries.

      It’s expensive, but solves the issue

      Are streamers running lathes or what if they’re pulling 1.2kW from the wall?

          500w is pretty conservative for all the RGB needs…
