Re: Electricity Efficiency & Folding..
One reason I suggested using ppd garnered from a 3rd party stats site is the issue of lost work units through EUEs or ps3 power issues etc etc.
It also provides a more consistent representation of your "usual" usage although they do provide other ways of getting unusual data I figured that would be consistent throughout everyones results.
Anyhow, thanks very much for your numbers Meph and jrweiss..
I really have to get a kill-a-watt so i can put up my own figures.

Re: Electricity Efficiency & Folding..
I don't know what exactly you had in mind regarding 3rd-party stats, but there are a couple issues there:
1) You may be able to gather those yourself, if they are publicly posted stats.
2) Any other stats may be "blind" to the specifics of machines or extenuating circumstances like a rash of EUEs. IMO, I can monitor the long-term trend on my machines much more quickly and easily by a couple glances a day at Fahmon, and maybe a note or 3 with pencil and paper...

- Use 220/240v whenever possible. Can gain an efficiency percentage point or two over 110/120v. Use 80 Plus, Bronze, Silver, Gold PSU's, whatever your budget allows.

Re: Electricity Efficiency & Folding..
Here's mine:-
34,800 PPD & 666 Watts so 52.2PPD/watt on a mix of WU
Not bad for an 8800gt, GTS250, evga 275/250 COOP card and a 1090T @ Stock,
No green option for me and the rate is 12.6 pence per KwH - although most of the time the power is a combination of hydro, enegery from waste inceration and nuclear
Also a whole thread over at [H] with more data in it with regards to PPD. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1533433
Oh a note about PSU's. I was running a antec 650 earthwatts that i pulled 570 watts through ( no 8800gt at this point). Replaced it with a corsair tx 950 and the same load was pulling ~530 watts - not an insubstanital saving for 24/7 operating., this was measured with a full brace of 353 pointers on both psu.s
A good silver or gold rated PSU will save you money even over an 80+ rated unit, it may cost more to purchase but mine will pay me back in 2 years, has spare capacity for upgrades and a decent warranty
