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. Even if you just let BOINC run in the background while the machines are on anyway, it is a big contribution. And that doesn't cost you anything. Leaving them on 24/7 just to crunch isn't necessary for most people. I do it because I have had cancer and lost loved ones to it. I want a cure ASAP. Everyone has to make their own determination.     |

Just passed 20 years of crunching. WTG!! Thats a lotta crunching! Congrats! Good Work! <Salute> Sorry I have been away, but I have a new system. A Lt. Col. Semperon. And from the looks of it, he should be a fine addition to the team. Anyway, I always felt better in a halftrack than a jeep. In regards to Pepe88, I wish there was something I could say that could change things for him. The price of oil is unfortunatly saying something else.

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. Thanks courine for the links! :) I need the 220v version though... still looking ...  |

They are being paid for by the saved money from using my Kill-a-Watt meter. Plus the margin I need to run them at all, came by cutting corners on other high use appliances. I only have a 15 amp circut to run it all on, so it is not just the money I have to worry about. I worry about having enough margin to hit the microwave on, then have the fridge kick on, without having to run to the breaker before the UPS's run out of juice. |

LOL When I moved in here, the entire place was run off 2x30A screw in fuses. Now, I have a 200A main and have tripped it a couple times... when it's -50° we run electric space heaters in a few rooms as well as the woodburner and boiler. Breakers are dual 50A for the range, dual 40A for the hot tub, dual 30A for the dryer, the fridge is on a 20A and at least a dozen 15's... All that to keep warm even since I have replaced several older windows with more energy efficient ones, insulated several rooms and installed a high efficency boiler. I do all my own work, wiring, plumbing, remodeling... Everyone should work with 4" steam pipe at least once. It gives you new respect for pipefitters...LOL I see I finally cracked the top 250, now to keep enough machines running to stay there!

It gives you new respect for pipe fitters...LOL I see I finally cracked the top 250, now to keep enough machines running to stay there! How many sq ft total? I am only 920, so my needs are less than a house. But the device I use to sink heat into the ground sits at about 52F. For me, the warmer the air gets above 60F, the more it sucks the heat. In your case though, you can use the device to preheat intake air if outside is less than 42F. Since during the winter, the need to vent air drops, reducing the flow rate past the heat exchanger, making the transfer of temp more efficient. Leaving air to be heated about 42F no matter how cold the climate. At that point the air that must be vented can be heat exchanged before exit, coupling the heat back into the intake air without mixing. Congrats on the 250! I hope that concepts like this help keep you in gear. [Edit 1 times, last edit by courine at Sep 27, 2008 12:48:45 AM] |
