I'm going to have to stop folding on my laptop and main rig. This room just gets too hot and it puts the electrical bill up to a point I don't really like. Maybe when we don't have to run the A/C so much I can start them folding again. But, until then, I really can't do much. I still have some other rigs folding for me at my parents house, and a few other places, so I'm not totally out. I'm sorry, guys. :(

    Warm?! It's 3*C outside right now and I'm freezing my ass off in this basement! The thermometre here reads 7*C in the room and the PC case reads 12*C! Send your rigs up to Ontario, where the electricity runs at $0.043 a kilowatt/hour and the temperature is overclocking friendly! :D

    It's unfortunate you will be loosing that power, but the main thing is that you keep folding for the cause!

    Fold on! :rockon::fold:

    One of the main problems is that if our apartment goes over $150 in electrical usage then my roommates and myself split the overage (since the electric is included in our rent). And I don't want to keep knocking the bill up, because I do have a lot of electronics, so I can't keep my PC running 24/7 anymore. But the heat is almost unbearable sometimes.
