I guess the answer is "it depends"

with average california cost/kwh (.35)

raspberry pi ~ $1/month

200w server ~ $50/month

also, more time on might mean more disk wear and greater chance of hardware failure. (there is probably some sort of heat shock, so leaving things on might be good too)



leaving spinning disks running all the time has definitely been proven to last longer than starting and stopping everything several times a day
