Ow, who ever would have thought the vacuum cleaner would be the deciding factor.

Vacuum cleaners and hair dryers really suck some current.

I am having a slow mental day it seems so I will fall back to the old standbye rebuttal....jo mama :p
 
We have 4 (only my 2 actually fold :/) computers running full time, and a 5th that runs about 8hrs a day. Our bill is around $110/month but there are 4 guys living in the house...so yeah we use a lot of electricity. However, our heat/oven/dryer are all on natural gas so that's a seperate bill.
 
One way to keep the electric bill down and fold more proteins is to recruit new members.
I spoke with another office where I work about folding (showed the video) and showed them how to install the client.
For a few weeks, and later more intermittently, I reported on their progress.

Hey, your doing great! You've completed x Work Units.

Some have added their home PCs (to Team 33, of course!).

Recruit, borg, and fold!

no kidding...maybe someone down at the lab finally figured out why most of the 3.0 P4's were running at 2 instead. Oh well...good stuff :D

Race to top 100 it is!

So if your [H]ordebowl machine is..what? another 300-400ppd? hmmm... :eek:

Good , you're worried :p Fold On!

 
yea i agree with celerator having borgs paid for by other people is much better then a farm paid for by yourself.

about 30-35 of mine are out in friends offices etc... about 60% are 24/7 now just need to convince some of the others that 24/7 is good for the computers:D

so i only have about 10 here in the house or so.
