Just a note on how energy efficient new rigs are. Right now I have 4 of my main folders on a single 1000VA UPS so I don't have to reset these rigs after a power bump, which happens fairly regularly here. They're mini-towers (no discrete graphics) running modern gen core-i5 processors using SMP folding.
Total power draw (idle): 105W (26.25W per rig)
Total power draw (fold): 295W (73.75W per rig)
Total power draw (dif): 190W (47.5W per rig)
So SMP folding takes much less power than keeping a 60W lightbulb turned on. The more you know!
