$.09 per kWh here
3x 7950 rig
3x 5850 rig
1x 7970 rig

I'm not sure how much electricity I'm pulling in this room but I know it's got to be over 1000 watts by quite a bit. Hot as hell in here and my electricity bill has been high as hell. Thank god ASICs are almost here. Pretty much only 2 more months till I start seeing a huge decrease in utility costs.

Successful trades with bels, misterbigg, ChrisNelson, shackleford, geniusboy91, and Isokivi.

My power is advertised at 8-9c/kwh, but once BGE adds all it's delivery fees and other bullshit it's more like 13.5c/kwh.  Here's an example bill:

Paying $0.08kw .What makes it even sweeter is that my roomie works for the Army Corp of Engineers at the dam. So he gets a discount on our power bill.  Grin

I'm running 840 watts, 3 GPU's.
Shocked
I'm also running at around 840W, but with 5GPUs (+CPUs/RAM/Mobos/USBsticks),
may i ask what kind of GPUs those are?

And for the record:
the one at >$0.24 - that's me, i'm at ~$0.3/kWh,
i wish we had prices like you US-guys around here.


whereare you at?

3x5970


3x5970 != 3GPUs
it's 3 Cards, but 6GPUs.  Wink

And it's Germany.

Nice thread. I use my 4x5850 + 1x 6870 oc for heating in winter also.

atm. in Scandinavia my power cost is 1.3x0.14=0.182 USD and powerdraw 790W

Power cost per 24h: 3.41 USD
Revenue per day: 6.13 USD
      ... less power costs: 2.72 USD
System efficiency: 2.09 MH/s/W

So not a moneymachine  Grin. I wish I had rented an cheap apartment last summer (power costs included) and put "few" more rigs in it Wink

Still can't complain because I saved last winter some firewood also and downstairs air was not moist at all.

Looks like prices are pretty standardized, save for a few outliers.

I pay $0.09/kwh. I use about 1050watts with my quad 7970 watercooled rig. I noticed the watt usage drops to 1KWh when I dust out the fans, keeping the system cooler and more power efficient. I just have to get some more air dusters soon XD.
