what it did cost me to run seti on my computers, so here:
Seti since 2000, 23067 workunits Seti Classic Cost of electricity
for that time in addition to normal use, 3800€ that makes it
around 0,165€ per WU.
now will anyone calculate total cost of Seti ??

Unfortunately using YOUR numbers will not give an accurate cost basis
number. The problem is that electricity costs are different world
wide, what you pay is probably much different than what I pay for
instance. I am in Virgina, USA and pay 6 1/2 cents per kilowatt hour
used. That is $0.065 per kilowatt hour. Your rate is probably much
higher.
I did 62,118 Classic units, I started 17 Dec 1999 and have been
crunching ever since. I have also added machines along the way, I
started with one machine but quickly went to 4 machine and am
currently upto about 20.
