That is a lot of cores to have going, but you are still under 14 watts per core so I would think that is pretty good. I am quite sure my old Dell 8 cores are nowhere near that efficient.
The good news here is my basement is finally dry, so the cleanup continues. My wife is still quite sore but getting better each day.
Crunch on

I could move some of them into the basement, but not the two Dell rackservers. They are just too noisy. I did have one of them in the basement when I was setting it up and I could hear it upstairs. I am quite sure my wife would not permit it. She already lets me indulge myself with computer stuff so I do not wish to disturb a working solution.

Well, we have acquired another car. I found a used one, 2003 with 86,000 miles on it. Since it has been many years since I have been in the car market, I was amazed at what used cars are costing now. I was seeing cars with over 100,000 miles going for $6,000 to $7,000. That was way more expensive than my mindset. Even some cars with more than 250,000 miles were costing a couple of thousand dollars. Whew! So I consider myself pretty lucky to have found this one for less than $3500.
I spent yesterday replacing the rear sway bar links. I was told I would need a torch to get them off, but with penetrating oil, time and some elbow grease, they grudgingly came off. Installing the new ones was the easy part.
The next things will be be to get a tune up, and replace a couple of the tires. By the time I am done I will have stuck about another $500 to $600 into it.
I hope it lasts a while, here in the land of rust and snow.
Cheers

Probably will be safer too. At least they could not do any worse than some of the drivers I've seen. Would like to see the electric car with 500 mile range, battery good for 300,000 miles before needing replacement, 10 minute recharge time and electricity availability from some kind of renewable. Also priced under $20,000.
If I can't have that I want a hydrogen powered vehicle with similar specs..
Am I a dreamer or what ?

If need any solar power to charge those batteries, there is plenty on Spain.
Since government start paying from it, grid has been overflow by solarstuf, even on night times. Also market of diesel-generators did skyrocket.
