I almost certainly don't save any money considering electricity cost. I have a dell r630 for compute and an r730xd that I use as a NAS. Then I have one switch for the rack and a POE switch for the house. Probably 3-5amps total?
If I started over, I would probably choose more efficient gear.
That said, I don't mind paying for the electricity too much. I enjoy the warm fuzzies of knowing my data lives under my roof.
