Power consumption can vary. The switches use only a few watts each but the blades under max load, with the power settings I have, can go to around 170W each with CPU and GPU being burned in. The chassis takes about 60W itself. So if fully loaded, 700-800 Watts.

Right now each blade has a Xeon Scalable 4210R and 2x16GB DDR4 sticks. One blade has a 1TB NVMe and an Arc A380 with the single slot mod. The other has a 2TB NVMe with an Ada Generation 4000 SFF with N3rdware's single-slot mod. I will get better CPUs and more RAM soon.

Router: GLi.Net Slate AX
10G switch: TRENDnet TL2-F7120
1G switch: Mikrotik CRS310-8G+2S+IN
Compute: HPE EL8000 with 2xHPE e910 blades.

I love it. It's pretty quiet. The CLI takes a little getting used to but once you get the flow it's not hard and in this form factor it's nice to have serial console. The GUI is actually really clean and functional as well.
