I'd hoped that they'd stick with it, every unit folded helps. I remember starting on a 8800gtx. Problem is most people logoff or turn their systems off when they're done. It's only the diehards that rock it overnight and 24/7 in some cases. Even I had to turn my system off at times due to heat and power bills from time to time.

Power has not been too bad, based on my First Folding impacted bill increased $232.76 (change from last year; rolling previous 12 months is on the bill)
Folding 24x7 on 2 Rigs with 4 GPUs cost me about $7.27 / day ---> this would include all power used including A/C & fans
Consumed an extra 1,851 KWH and this was a hot September, so general A/C was up; and Folding based need of A/C.
