Hi courine! Where did you buy that Kill-A-Watt? http://www.p3international.com/products/special/P4400/P4400-CE.html That gadget looks interesting! thanks! I think this was the place: http://www.amazon.com/P3-International-P4400-Electricity-Monitor/dp/B00009MDBU and while you are there, try this: http://www.amazon.com/Emergency-Mylar-Blanket...qid=1220957263&sr=8-1 If you cover all your windward windows with 1 or 2 layers. Your heating and cooling bills will shrink. Around here, I can use a ducting system that redirects heat from the computers back into to heating system of the house or out a vent in the summer. Because of this, I can run the systems here on what I would have spent in waste.     |

[ Around here, I can use a ducting system that redirects heat from the computers back into to heating system of the house or out a vent in the summer. Because of this, I can run the systems here on what I would have spent in waste. I have a big house, the heat from 14 computers helps some, but when it's -40° outside, you need a little more...LOL I have a woodburner I use to help keep the gas bill a little lower. I burn discarded pallets that would otherwise end up in the landfill. It's cheaper than buying cut wood and because it has little pitch left, it burns much cleaner than fresh logs.    |

For when it gets really hot, I heat sink to the ground through a 2" copper tube embedded 16' down. A return 1/2" PVC tube feeds 2 old car radiators with a box fan between. A very small fountain pump keeps the water about 55F no matter what. I was using this to cool the computer air for recirculation, but now use an active venting system (above) to prevent air reflow where the computers are, removing a thermal runaway "oven" effect. It use to be that to cool this room was 250 watts, now it is 17. The "cool pump" thats about 7 watts to run the pump and the box fan is from 75 to 150 depending on speed, but now beats out the 350 watt "whole house" cage fan it replaces for only 85.
----------------------------------------Next is the battle in the kitchen between the stove and the fridge. |

I passed 30 years crunching a day or two ago, still quite a bit to catch with Cargod though

I passed 30 years crunching a day or two ago, still quite a bit to catch with Cargod though WTG!! That's a lotta crunching, and your machines turn the units much faster. I've gotten a few faster (3Ghz/1G to replace the 1.7Ghz/256MB) systems but they still don't crunch like yours. Welcome aboard Cniht!!

5Kwh per day times 10 PCs times 30 days HUH?
1.5 MegaWattHour per month. This was about my contribution to WCG, minus let say 500Kwh for the times when these PCs are on anyway. Well, you can calculate easily how much I spent over the years for UD then WCG, Climate Prediction and other projects. I guess this is the end, I am not paying anymore. |

Well, can you run on your 24hr systems? These systems need to stay up anyway, so should not harm your power bill. But the real point of DC is not how much you crunch, its that you do. |
