Not OP, but canceling Youtube Red, HBO Go/Now, and Hulu easily covers the cost of electricity on beefy server. Just depends on your priorities. I consider $10/month (what I pay for my desktop class i7 machine, not GP's setup) to have a place to call home on the Internet (that isn't in the cloud/on hard drive island/somebody else's computer) to be well worth it, and if you're using smaller hardware (eg Pizerow) it costs less in electricity than a cup of coffee in a month.
