Not nearly as much as you might think. 1.2kw where I live translates to about $0.12/hr, and that's when running full clip. If you have a decent solar hookup, it's small fraction on a sunny day.
The expensive part is the upfront hardware cost and the electrical system upgrade you'll need to give your house.
I'm paying about $0.19/hr and using half that power just for a large spinning RAID, running some VMs and security cameras. And I'm reconsidering my digital extravagance because of the electric bill. You probably make way more money than I do.
