Got my watt meter today.

As a mining machine, my 8120 doesn't disappoint.

285W pulled from the wall to generate 530mhash/sec using 2 Radeon 5830 cards. Could possibly reduce this some more if I unplug the speakers and monitor from the power strip while mining.

Based on http://bitcoinx.com/profit/index.php and my cost for electricity, it's plenty profitable to use, especially since my condo can use the waste heat to stay warm during these cold winter months.

I just picked up an FX8120 last night because of the deal Microcenter was having for $200 w/ the free motherboard. Stoked to check it out, but need to drive back over today and pick up a case to install it in, doh.

The joke is: one of those systems was a Phenom2 X4, the other was a bulldozer, and nobody could tell the difference!

they should do a Coke v. Pepsi blind test for PII v. BD. see if anyone could tell the difference.

Double-blind please. When the tester knows which is which, the tester tends to influence the result.
