electric costs may be cheap but older systems aren't exactly energy sippers and if you're running 4 or 5 + at close to 100% 24/7 you'd be surprised how much energy you use.

But yeah grab a coupe more of those workstations and pass the data through a gigabit connection and you'll be going super fast through whatever you're doing.

drawing 500W at 14cents/kwhr is $47 per month.

i remember adding an easy $25 to my power bill in a month when i let my old P4 go nuts for F@H a while ago.
