These idle at a small fraction of what you feel is the expected power consumption, so your pricing calculation per year is way off. Far too high. The cpu in the microserver (2nd item) is socketed, so you can swap it out for something lower power if you really wanted to. For me, I've actually upgraded the cpus in my microservers (several of them) as I tend to use them hard at times. :)
