So IF you were to run it 24/7 for 30 days the national average would be $12. Running it for just 3 days straight out of that month would cost you $1.20 to help cure some serious diseases. If that's too much for you then 8 hours for one day would cost you 20 cents.

Which is about 1/250th the price your next game will cost ... or to put it another way you could contribute 8 hours one day a month for the next ~21 years for that one game your going to buy... but whatever floats your boat.

PS3 systems have been running 24/7 for months without overheating so I wouldn't be too concerned about it.

I havent turned mine off since Folding came out. Whenever Im at work or asleep its on Folding=) No overheating issues at all.
