Well that sounds a bit exaggerated. One kWh here is around 14 - 16 cents, so
144 would be order of 22 EUR/Month (still very expensive).

Also, 200W consumtion is rather much... I don't know Linux well enough to
say whether the disks can be spun down & the processor throttled a bit,
should save some power.
