No way :P
Laptops don't use much power. My MBP with 2 hard drives and the screen at full brightness draws around 27 watts.
Well, it just seems weird to me - old P4's are power hungry. Old IDE HDD as well. But I could be wrong as well.
My i5 in my laptop uses more than that.
Yes way. The screen doesn't work so the laptop is closed and just idles.
@Alex_LiquidHost
It's a P4-M M=mobile so it would use less power.. they were design specially for laptops so they would run cooler and longer with the lower watts..
@Jeffrey 0.5 Amps Idle.

I built a mini-itx system in a cube as a sandbox/playground/homeserver as it has 2 x 1 Gbit NICS + 1 WLAN, so I can connect it to 3 different networks.
It's quite silent.
Cost was around 750 euros to build this.

Have a 20-22u HP rack that I found on craigslist locally -- it has about 8u filled with a bunch of older systems that are usually not running, or a system that is being tested/demo'd.
Currently have a 1U Rackable Systems machine, Procurve 24 port gig switch, old school Fortinet 60b firewall, a super old 1U SuperMicro half depth celeron box, an ancient 1U AMD opteron machine I used to use for storage, IBM x3550 I used for parts for one in production, and finally a dl360 gen8 with a bunch of intel ssd dc3500 disks that I am testing now.
a few HP N40L (7 currently), a 3U computing node, 2 3U storage nodes - Total around 800W and i pay like 40eur/month for them in power
Does router count as home server, per se, per lowend? -;)
