When i have measured the other rigs,i will post it.

The kw/h-meter is free of use from the local electric-company.

This is measured from A/C wall-socket.
 
I've been contemplating a folding rig, but can't reallly afford £200 in electricity each year to keep it running. I don't suppose low powered folding rigs are of much use?
 
What is best in terms of ppd vs power usage cpu or gpu? Do you have any links to building a pure folding rig? The ones I've seen are monsterous, I was thinking of something a little more modest.
 
Cpu folding is best,and gives the best ppd/cost/power.

6 core i7-970 @ 4.0-4.4ghz is the best,but also very expensive.For the cpu price alone you could get an i7-2600k AND a decent mobo like asus p67 sabertooth.

A good heatsink like noctua nh-d14 is a must.If you want to fold on gpu,gtx460 has the best ppd/cost/power.A decent case like R3 or RV02,for good aircooling.

Otherwise there is no real guideline for building a folding-rig.

Bulldozer is to be released within a month,and prices on SB mobo`s and cpu`s will drop after.
