I'm currently only running BOINC on my desktop, but I was curious about some of your mentalities about grid computing. For those of you with clusters or dedicated computing setups, do you live in areas with cheap electricity/solar, or are you just willing to pay for electrical costs as support for your hobby/as a charitable cause?

Vir posted:But the money spent on HVAC re-design might not make it worth it. Depends how long you're going to use the room like that, the projected future cost of energy, etc. While it wouldn't be as effective as a full HVAC redesign, you could move toward smart thermostats to help with hot spot rooms like that. I have an ecobee thermostat, and I bought two of their temperature/occupancy sensors for my office and bedroom. The main reason for buying them was a similar situation as this: my office is the farthest room from the AC and it's got 2 windows, 3 computers, and plenty of other tech stuff running (plus me) to warm the room all day. So, having a little sensor on the wall to tell the thermostat, "hey, I'm in here and the room is hot, please make it cooler", is a nice benefit.
