    cutting back :(

    As depressing as it is I must cut back. After tonight I will only run 2 GTX460s and then may need to occasionally shut them down. Also shutting down some WCG crunchers.

    TVA has new "seasonal rates". Price goes up in summer June-Sept. Between increased rates and temps already in the 90s I gotta give some up till fall.

    I hate "seasonal rates", they start charging more for type of energy that we need the most

    thats rediculous and sucks that you will have to cut back.....Time for others to try and catch up to you I guess. At least you will still be able to crunch some.

    Well, hopefully you'll pick up the slack for the rest of us... I'm down and out for a while - shifting hardware around for a couple builds so we'll see how this goes. If everything works out I'll be back even more fire power. Have an eye set on pie.


    24 hour prime stable? Please, I'm 24/7/365 WCG stable!

    So you can do Furmark, Can you Grid???
