If I remember correctly, every watt is around $1 a year. So a 100 watt server costs $100 a year every year to run. 12 SAS drives and the server is going to be expensive to keep running.

1W would be 8.769kWh per year. Pricing is regional.

It can also vary by time and day. I got that setup since I use more at night, but in general power companies average that throughout the day.
