I'm on 110AC and yes the meter is a Kill-a-watt. 

The SuperMicro machine would certainly not work on 12V. 

I not saying that the SuperMicro machine can replace the Soekris in
every use case. For my usage though, and that of anyone who's gonna
plug it into the wall for power, I'm saying it's not a bad deal.
