WTF, SmileMan! :good:

I should be turning back on at the beginning of the month even if I don't have the last cpu I need.
Not sure how long I will run because of the power bill. :mad:

My dad didn't say anything about it until now, so it seems my Xeon doesn't use that much of power :p

I'm pulling close to 1kw running both of mine and electricity in my neck of the woods isn't cheap.
I figure about $150 a month to run 24/7.

For those who didn't get my previous post WTF = Way To Fold.

Wow, that's quiet a lot. Hope my dad doesn't get angry when the power bill says 40 more xD

College is fantastic because free internet and power. Unfortunately, it looks like both my folders somehow shut down at 12AM Saturday morning--it's spring break and I was going to leave them on. At least one of them auto restarts and resumes folding if it BSODs---so I'm not sure how they could be off other than maybe uni turning off power to the building?!

If I end up with a job in Kentucky, electricity is super cheap--running a 600 watt 4P under load is a reasonable ~$35 a month for a few hundred thousand PPD.

OK, I'm not folding much, but it's something ;D
Great I've this Xeon, it uses almost no power. That's why my dad isn't complaining yet :p
Anyway, we just got that awesome solar panels. Don't know if they'll help much or not.
If it does, I'll let an i7, my athlon, a 9600GT and an hd6750 work all day long pared with my xeon.

The 9600GT should fold fairly nicely. I sold my 9600GSO to another member here and he put it to work folding in his daughters Dimension. The extra memory of the 9600GT should make it a good folder.

Better then an hd6870? Don't think so after the update from core 17.
Anyway, now I sold the hd6870 I can buy a better cooler for my hd7950 (XFX ghost design sucks, loud and warm) and fold 38k or more PPD with that ;P

Wow not very many people folding anymore. The highest points per 24hrs is 389!! That's horrid. I use to pull out a constant 2500ppd with my 9600gso for a while. I am still in 14th place on the team and it's been prob 2yrs since I have been folding.
