Depends on the hardware... for something like IBM Z Series i'd consider several kilowatts... 路 2 years ago

probably a bigger psu than you think you need - board pwr regulation can be a big factor so bigger psu less stress on board pwr regulation. i suggest work out what you need and then double that. alternative is freezing, uncommanded reboots, cpu running hot, and the like. 路 2 years ago

What @marginalia said. Server to self-host gemini? Multi-purpose? Graphics cards and spinning hard drives are the components that require more watts in your power supply. More details please. 路 2 years ago

Hard to answer without knowing the rest of the specs, and what you are going to use the server for. Details please! 路 2 years ago
