My build parts are in the OP, so I won't bother listing them here. Serial port, USB 3.0 support, and one of the LANs are turned off, otherwise system is as normal with the latest BIOS (1.60). All drives are plugged in, case fans set on medium, CPU fan on SmartFan setting.
Server off - power plugged in: 4W
Turn on peak power: 111W (6x drives spinning up)
FreeNAS booted, system idle: 49W
Large file continuous read: 61W
Large file continuous write (compression on): 72W
2x HD transcode streams via ffpeg over Subsonic (CPU railed): 80W
2x HD transcode + large file read + write: 84W
Railing the CPU and reading and writing as fast as the system could manage, everything I saw was <85W. Idling with 6 drives (I have them set to max power savings without spin down), under 50W average.
Looks pretty damn good if you ask me.
