Title: Power metering?
Post by: Steve on February 15, 2011, 01:18:46 PM
I'm interesting in trying out mining...I'd like to very accurately track the cost of mining...does anyone use (and can recommend) a power metering device that you plug the mining rig into?

Newegg has the best price on the kill-a-watt that I've seen (USD 20 delivered in the US).

If you have a new meter on your house you may also be able to use Google Powermeter (http://www.google.com/powermeter/about/).

Not exactly "cheap" but you get 4 temperature sensors, 4 fan management with speed regulation, and the power meter :)
