Don't forget to check the Thread's on Core 1.24 and Cat 9.3 to maximize your PPD on close to 0% CPU load ;o)
BTW: My Power comes from renewable sources only.

Even if it gets 1PPD, that's 1PPD we didn't have before.
Welcome!

Hmm, that looks like a really good idea. I think I might try the same idea, the reason I don't fold is because I'm not paying the power bills, if it's only 25watts full load I could definitely handle that.

I have updated my OP. Indeed folding on lower power consumption hardware means that the little guys with sensitive electrc bills can join the game !

Well, I have offset rather than eliminated my folding power useage.
My rig uses around 250 watts. I had a set of flouresent shop lights in my garage that was on 24/7. 2 40 watt bulbs always on. I set it to a motion detector. 80 watts saved. I have a flouresent light above my utility sink on 24/7. Only on when I use it now. 30 watts saved. I make sure my printer is off when not in use, 25 watts saved. I set my outside lights (3 75w flood and 3 150 watt halogen) to only be on for 1.5 hours after sunset and then only turn on with motion. not sure exactly how to figure that one out (use to be 675 watts on ~8-10 hrs per day, now only 1.5-2 per day, maybe 200w saved per day?) My power useage is about the same overall as before (going up now because of warmer temps and more A/C useage).
