Power usage per day for Dell Power edge
I want to buy a Dell PowerEdge T100 for a client, however I see on the spec sheet the total Single power supply is 305W. I want to know how much Watt per day the server use since I will be running the server 24 hr.

It'll depend on what you buy and how you use it.
The 305W is the maximum the powersupply can supply, but modern powersupplies will use less when there's less demand.
The only way to find our how much it'll use in your environment is to set it up the way you would, let it do what you want it to do and measure the powerconsumption (there are electricity usage measuring devices you can put between the 'wall jack' and your powercable).
