(1) You need to measure how much electricity (watts) your miner is using at the wall. Best way is to use a Kill-A-Watt meter. This is your WATTS.

(2) Figure out how many HOURS your miner is running. This is your HOURS.

(3) Multiply WATTS x HOURS / 1000 = KWh

(4) Find out how much your electric company charges you (per KWh). Multiply by above and you get your cost.

(5) You can use this calculator to help as well:

Can't you just use the kill-a-watt to display the KWh used?

Did a download get interrupted at some point? I think firefox makes a [filename].part file while something is being downloaded that it deletes afterwards, and if firefox crashes or something during the download you end up with the [filename].part file left in your download directory.

1 - 5850
1 - 5830

Rig 2: ~1.3 ghash/s

All the cards except the 5970 are powered off of some server power supply I paid $15 for.

Yes, you can use two different models without trouble.

Run two instances of cgminer, one for each GPU.

Make sure to disable ULPS as I just described here:

I think there are some driver issues if you try to use 7xxx cards with 5xxx/6xxx cards, at least in linux I wasn't able to get both recognized at once and ended up having to put the 7xxx cards in a separate rig.

There's also http://coinchoose.com/ which also lists CHNCoin, though it doesn't have power usage calculations.
