I picked up my server rack from some local guy that seemed to be selling off an abandoned server farm, I think in Morrisville.

Power

The CyberPower has a very useful "Load Percentage" display. It is under ~65% load with bitpost and melange plugged in. I decided I did not want to keep it perpetually on the edge of overload by adding cast to it.

This dirty power does the dirty work, providing UPS for cast and all additional electronics.

All electronics that are not UPS protected are behind the surge protection of both the CyberPower and APS550.

Power consumption

Component PSU CyberPower isolated capacity
Bitpost 750W 30-35%
Melange 750W 30-35%
Cast 750W 30-35%
Bluto 1050W 45%, 135% when gaming (overloaded, constant beeping)
Toggle-off power strip - 40% fully loaded with Sony Logitech etc.
Sony 65" TV - 37%
Logitech 7.1 amped speakers - 3%
