I used to do this for my virtual gaming rig, and the catch is still idle draw. Just one B70 pulls over 30W idle, then there’s the nvidia card and then CPU etc, too. As this machine is solely for remote development and inference, I want it fully off.
Now, I guess I do have all the confidential stuff in encrypted ZFS, so I can shutdown the docker containers, unmount ZFS, and suspend. This gives me encryption at rest. The problem is the startup/resume is actually slower than you might think.
