Each 2500 series router (AC) has a 40 watt power supply (max power)... so
it would be roughly the same as leaving four 75 watt lights on.
40 x 8 = 320 watts/hour or .3 Kw, I pay 7.1 cents per Kw/hr, so it would
cost me about 51 cents/day to run your lab. I looked into this because I
have a fairly large lab too. It costs me about $2.00/day to run all my
junk. :-)
You might want to reconsider the remote-power-on equipment. The ROI on it
is not very good at $500.
ROI: On all day = $15/mo
On 1/4 day = $3.75/mo (assuming you turn it off for 18/hrs/day)
Difference: = $11.25/mo
Switch Cost = $500/11.25 = 44.5 months to payback initial investment.

Subject: off topic - Remote power on for lab equipment
Hello to the good people on this list...
Does anyone know of a product that can be obtained at a reasonably good
price (reasonable is defined as being $500.00 and under) that will remotely
power on equipment such as routers and switches.
I have a lab at home which I can telnet to from work from time to time but
I
have leaving them on for extended periods of time.
Does anyone know what the effect of 8 2500 series routers on a home
electiricity bill?? =)
Thanks in advance!
Jon
