Wife and I chatted a bit last night, and evidently things aren't quite as grim as she lead me to believe the other night, for the time being anyway. So just playing things by ear (I guess that's normal for husbands anyway). Meanwhile have turned back on eighteen systems, most running FAH, but a couple of them just don't like FAH so they are doing dnet. Looking down the road, starting the 2nd weekend in August, things will slow way down as I'll be out of town a week and I have no one to watch the computers. Should pick back up the week after that .

eighteen systems....... :shock: ....My mouth is watering...
Holy crap.... No wonder your electric bill is so high.

actually running 21 systems total, had 18 of them shut down. I wish it was 21 X2 systems, then temps would be a lot lower and the overall electricity used by the A/C and the crunchers would be noticably lower. But I don't have the bucks to buy a bunch of those.So I keep running my collection of older systems, and dodging the wife when she gets on those cost-saving rants....
And the weather guessers say that the hot weather is coming back again, so I'll probably have to knock it down to 13 systems if it does so the a/c gets a bit of a reprieve. meanwhile, just making hay while I can.

I run 2 dual core systems and a laptop... Our electric bill is almost $300 USD a month.... I have both desktops on a KVM switch so that helps. One less screen to consume electricity. I would like to have 2 more X2's.... The 2 empty slots in the KVM switch are really lonely.

Of that number though, 2 are xp1800, 2 are XP2000, and 4 are xp2100's. Of course they still turn out a decent number work units, and do good running OGR but the worst part I think is the heat they generate. 2 or 3 X2's would be a lot cooler. But everyone runs what they have on hand. And it's all for fun anyway isn't it :?:

It's only fun when your wife/partner doesn't nag about the cost ;)
