    Perfect ;)

    Could try asking @Oliver aswell

  • Define resonably? Power and space is very expensive in Sydney, and AC is pretty much required 9-10 months per year.

    BW is also extremely expensive in AU, don't expect anything below 10$/Mbit.

    Well I can get 1RU/1A for $125 in Sydney with 500GB BW. I know exactly how expensive it can be, hence why I said reasonable. Reasonable for Sydney :)

    Also, AC is required for 12 months of the year. The only times it might not be required are early mornings in winter.

  • That's $116 USD, and I'm not a fan of CloudShards, sorry :(

  • You won't find anything cheaper than that.

    Is this for the successful PHP-as-a-Service brand NoCommando?

    I got a 3Mbps ADSL1 line with power that goes out when the heater and kettle is ran at the same time. :)

    Gotta love Australia. :P

    eh, not unusual, if i turn on our stove and the AC runs our home rack overloads the main power and kills the entire floor with 5 flats.... welcome to Austria, Building is 190 years old...

    How many UPS do you have running in your place? If I owned my flat I'd love to get a tesla power wall or something similar.

  • One small one (like 3000W @ 1hour). It kills the 16A circuit it runs on randomly when we lose power, not always, but randomly. New rack design should prevent that by spreading load better.

    Problem in our (aka @William and @Fusl) flat is the low general amperage - Our main circuit breaker/fuse is only 40A which is easily maxed out by a 15-16A (3520W) AC, 10A (2200W) rack/servers/ups and 15A (3300W) stove (total 40-41A 220V or 8800W+). The fuse cabinet itself has more than 200A (44kW+) available (like 250mm3 alu uplink on 3 phases, enough for a medium sized DC and the building itself has according to the landlord 2000A+/440kW available) but it ain't cabled from there to our rooms (old cabling, easily 20y+, but not lead anymore, already more recent copper).

  • @William, I live in Toronto, where the hydro reliability is decent, but not great. Power surges are common, so generators aren't too rare. I have one in a shed in my back yard, powering my small rack and pretty much everything else, but I try to stay below the maximum so there will still be a surplus powering the batteries there. I feel bad for you @William, but the old, faulty copper wiring underground feeding the house isn't much better - random surges causes the breaker's automatic safety trigger to activate, causing the house to lose power feed from the grid randomly :/

    You are running a 15A AC? Wtf?

    It's not a split unit, so not extremely efficient - It's one of these with a tube you put out of your window. Cooling power is like 4500W. We probably get a split unit by the landlord next year though.

    Last weeks we had 35-40C daily so it was/is running permanently to shove it to ~25 at night and ~28 on day in 2 rooms (bedroom and office)

    I see. The AC in the office outputs 3.6KW for cooling and consumes 0.95KWH.
    Generally happy with it.

    @William

    Wait, what are you using to cool your servers anyway (4.5KW just for cooling is quite high)? Just plain A/C or water?

  • WilliamWilliam Member

    Nothing, the rack runs by itself in an open area, the AC is only for our office/bedroom. Temps vary but are in okish areas (45-50C/server) in summer.
