Not a bad idea, but I'm not sure it's worth it for $0.01/ea -- then again, if I had a large SETI fleet, I might go for it. 🙂
 
Hey minendo,

🙂

I'm not really interested in getting people who are already running SETI for TeAm AnandTech. This is to get NEW Seti Crunchers. 😉
 
Seti WU times vary computer to computer but I have found that 2 GHz (Intel standard) will do a typical WU around 3:30 to 3:45 hours:minutes.

3 GHz (Intel standard) complete WUs in around 2:00 to 2:30.

🙂

I average about 4 hours with a P4 1.6a @ 2.133Ghz..
 
"For example, if you complete 100 WUs during the month I will send you a check for $1.00 (100 X $0.02)."

I don't get it... 100 *.02 = $1.00?
 
Let's assume a newer PC Probably uses about 100w/hr for electricity, on average. (We'll neglect the additional A/C required to cool the extra heat the PC generates). [For you simpletons, no, the PC does not use all 300W of that 300W powersupply.. that's a "MAX" rating, it may use more than 100W -- this is a conservative estimate].

OK, Energy is $.05/KWH here (depending on how much power you use). So, The energy cost to run = 1/10KWH*$.05KWH = $.005/hr.

That Cheap PC, if current, can probably do .25wu/hr. (1 wu every 4hrs seems to be a sweet spot)

Thus, your energy cost = $.02/wu on avg.

Smokeball = Getting off cheap versus building (one time costs) & running your own. 😀

Since we are talking about idle CPU cycles, this would be a good way to cut your "energy cost" in half. 😛 😀

 
will seti run ok alongside UD?

i've got a few rigs chuggin right now...

I can't answer that one. You could try SETI on one computer and see how it behaves with UD. 😉
 
what would be the point of running them together? My UD runs my CPU @ 100% according to program manager in winXP, If you'd share the cycles u'd maybe get half done on each. I think these things are all or nothing.
