Question: What are the KW/H costs on dual Xeon vs. dual Haswell-E? And what are the credits per day/KWH ratio's?

This is called the specific energy, and this ratio should be compared between machines. Basically for the same period of time an energy reading should be taken divided by the number of tasks completed on the same frame period. The ratio should be kWh/tasks.Originally Posted by Fire$torm
I'm always browsing Ebay for a steal. This isn't necessarily a steal, but it's not a bad deal. I have a couple Z600s and they've run well so far...
HP Z600, dual X5650, 24GB RAM, 1.5 TB HDD, Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, dual Quadro FX 1800...$549 + +$65 shipping

Or keep your eye on this auction, but you'd have to upgrade the CPUs. If you got it for less than $350 (including shipping), would be good deal...http://www.ebay.com/itm/121811587387
It seems that the HPs have a much better stock cooling solution over the Dells. I really like the price of that z600 dual hex you found Scole.
Looks like a very good alternative to the Dell T5500. The cooling strategy looks much better; the only drawback I see is the smaller and slightly less efficient PSU (650W @ 85% vs 875W @ 88%). You might have trouble running a 7950/280 and you would certainly have failures with 7970/280X on this platform, but it has enough power for a mid-range AMD card or any newer Nvidia GPU up to GTX 980. For this reason I've been sticking with the Dell T5500 - I need somewhere to put my Tahiti cards!
