Something like the "Watts Up" or equivalent is real handy for this. This
is how I concluded that running Folding at Home continuously on the PS3
would cost me about $25 a month.
Ouch! So, it's running 100% cpu most or all of the time?
The PS3 consumes about 170-180 watts, no matter what it's doing. Yes, the
folding at home is about 700% CPU, but it only seems to add a few percent
to the consumption on the device.
Actually, it's probably not quite 700%, since they do have a little left
over to animate the protein as they fold it.
