Here is a good spot for average power costs in the nation.
My new Dell Q6600 w/ 1 instance is putting out about 2200ppd using 120w,
250GB hd, 1Gb RAM
My old Q6600 w/ 1 instance put out about 2200ppd using 97w,
40GB HD, 2GB RAM
Now my old Q6600 w/ 2 instances puts out about 3300ppd using 135w,
320GB HD, 2GB RAM
Since I live in Virginia that means on the Dell on average I would pay about $0.25/day for 2200ppd and about 0.30 for the 3300ppd.
And actually the last time I looked it up the cost was about $0.0630/Kwh
