One monitor for the whole farm - Page 2

I'm sure I'm over 20 amps, when all the machines AND monitors AND kvms AND UPSs AND switches/hubs AND lights are running. Most of the boxes eat somewhere between 50 and 65 watts (per a Brand wattmeter), but all of the Athlon boxes eat over 140, and the pair of dual Celerons (BP6) are close to that, as is the P-IV. I'm guessing more like 30 AMPs total.

I do spread the load out, though - every outlet in this room is on a seperate circuit (whjch is WHY this is the computer room), 4 of them 15 AMP circuits and the other a 20-AMP circuit.

Say after me, "My name is QuintLeo and I am a GIMPS addict".

Is it ethical to use more computing power and electricity than the whole of Burkina Faso just to pursue a mathematical curiosity?

YEAH!!! Go for it!!!

Nah, the more accurate statement is "I am QuintLeo and I am a Distributed Project addict."

9-)

The electric actually is a tossup in the wintertime - it helps keep the heating bill a LOT lower, and I don't even usually turn the furnace ON more than 3 months out of the year.

The rest of the year, though.....
