Lol sounds like someone is jealous. This is a great way to utilize PCs that are otherwise wasting power doing nothing.

Current is delivered upon demand. a 450W PSU doesn't always draw 450W. That's just the max it can deliver under load. 80 workstations running full-tilt for a sustained amount of time will add a noticeable increase on next month's power bill. If you're the one ultimately in control of those 80 machines, all fingers point to you.

I'll still have a job on Monday. You jelly?

sure I'll have one. Theres about 3 dozen of Sun Sunfire UltraSPARC stations in the basement, Network switching equipment for 30 GBit/s internet access, and a GSM Cellular Network Broadcasting cell on the roof. I mean, with the Sunfires alone, we're talking about an average load of 1500W/Machine. Also the machines I'm using are intended to do real computing during daytime, so it's not really a problem to use them at nights - actually my boss does know this and is cool with it. Power is not an issue here :-D

Hey, if you and your boss have conspired to steal your employeer's power and you both can sleep at night, more power to you (no pun intended). No need for you to worry, the rest of us tax paying citizens will surely make up for the losses your company write's off each year.
