@dogwitch - We live in a small 2 bedroom condo (for the 4 of us). The air outside is very dirty (dust and LA pollution) so it's not safe to keep the windows open and it becomes a nightmare with dusting after only a couple of days, especially the computers. @OIIOOIOI - This is my ultimate goal, I used to have this setup and I'll likely do something like this again when we move to a bigger house and I have a yard to do this. We can't easily get solar in this condo, so hopefully when we move later this year/early next year, we'll get solar on the new house @Favebook - We actively gaming on the GPUs (except for the 1070Ti), so I wouldn't want to underclock/PL them). I'm currently selling my spare systems and only keeping the one unraid server that has 4 GPUs in it for the 4 of us, otherwise I would PL/underclock them.

I made it all the way up to team rank 281 and then I got my latest electric bill for $550 and decided to pull the plug. Since my last update, I purchased an additional GPU (GTX 1070Ti) and was able to get 3.4M PPD when I didn't use any of the system. But the 4 of us do use them daily (wife + kids are gamers), so points suffered accordingly. I'm now selling all my spare computers (5 of 6 still left). A large portion of my energy usage was for AC to cool the computers, as the systems in total were only about 1600 watts, yet I was averaging ~3100 watts which is how I ended up with over 2,200 kwh usage. Unfortunately, my power company charges 400% on tier 2 (above 1000 kwh), which sucks. I'm sad to be ending this project, but I can't spend that much on electricity when our normal power bill is almost never over $125. I do feel good that I contributed 115M points and 4500+ WU's. Maybe I'll fire up the farm once again after I get my solar installed.

Finally broke 2000. I've been running for about a month now, but silly me, I didn't have my 12 node farm keyed because my 3 email addresses kept on rejecting email verification (not even sent to junk mail). I had to create a new email address and now I'm finally getting ~2-2.4M PPD. Running 6 stand alone systems (850watts): -i7 8700k OC'd @ 5.3ghz delidded + water cooled, no GPU -i5 8250U laptop, no GPU -i5 4760k OC'd, no GPU -i5 4760k stock, no GPU -3 530 mini pc, no GPU -i3 2120T mini pc, no GPU -Q6600 + GT730 +1 quad gaming unraid server (900 watts) w/ 4 GPUs and Ryzen 9 3950x OC'd @ 4.3ghz water cooled. -GTX1080Ti + 8vcpu -GTX1060 + 6vcpu -RX570 + 4vcpu -RX550 + 4vcpu -F@H Docker image w/ 10vcpu My electric bill is about $85 more per month now. I've written a few automation scripts with remote management for remotely restarting clients using powershell invoke-command along with WMI querying for GPU/CPU loads. This is helping me keep sane during this pandemic. Laptop not pictured Unraid server (wall mounted): Side question, is there some list of ranks by PPD? I'm just wondering what rank I'll end up after a few more weeks.
