How much heat does it generate and how loud is it at full tilt? Try keep comparing it to a modern under-desk computer, but I’m not sure you’d want to have that thing in the same room while you’re using it?


According to the specifications the max power draw is 1650W. All of that is converted into heat so it's like a small space heater.


It’s more than a space heater. Any heater is usually 1500w.


And that is to keep it safe. Continuously pulling 1650 W out of a US power socket is not safe. I've seen even 1500 W continuous heat up loose connections inside the socket to a level that charred plastic. Leaving this machine running a heavy compute load for hours without a 20A socket is a fire hazard:

> Surprising efficiency: Despite its scale, the workstation pulls 1650W at peak, low enough to run on a standard 15-amp / 120V household circuit.
