3 computers, 3 different IP's, same house?

I have wondered about this myself, the energy consumption. I figured it wouldn't be too awful with how most computers have power saving features but I really have no clue what the total draw will be. And when I don't know the price of something, it usually ends up being more than I expect.

It depends on a few things (for example PSU,GPU,CPU and load usage of the pcs, monitor and modem watts) including where you live and how much they charge for the energy/h, where I live you could run 1, 2 PCs 24/7 without even notice any noticeable price changes to your energy billing.

But then again internet may be an issue, at least here where I live, you can get up to 100mb download however the upload sucks it goes around 1mb less on most providers and a dedicated link is way way way too expensive.
 
This is awesome info thanks so much. you all are right. it did cross my mind that since I am going to need to change IP's that my ISP isn't going to have infinite IP's to use even though they've been a good range of clean ones so far, if I'm power using then eventually I'm going to have to have a private proxy solution..
 
you definitely need proxies ,vpn

otherwise you can use FREE VPS here in forum
 
Depending on what you are doing buying them from your ISP sure is not the way to go.
Use a company from the BST who sells IP Addresses.

No problem
 
Its either proxies connected on each machine or actually changing the IP of your modem. All of the IPs In your house will receive the same IP the modem is receiving from your ISP.

There is an old cable modem uncapping kit on the internet for motorola surfboard modems, but the tools work for almost all cable modems. It can scan other users on the same box, depending where you live this could be light or dense but you can change the last 3 of your IP (198.45.177.XXX).

Windows adapter settings can be used to set the IP.

A few months ago I was in the situation of needing an assistant. I couldn't be arsed training one, so had either the option of automating more or working longer hours. I chose to automate more.

Now I have 2 VPS's running auto tools 24/7. One is from a respected supplier, loaded with my licenced tools. The other is a BH one with cracked tools on it. (mainly because of senx - I ain't paying 2 x $167 a month for anything. I'll happily pay it once, but not twice). I had to upgrade my video card to allow 3 monitors, so now run a VPS on the 2 outside monitors and work on the middle one. (3 monitors is not essential - I just like seeing them tick away all day. I would advise 2 though if you're going to run a VPS, most video cards will handle 2 monitors).

Since changing to this setup my workload has increased immensly, and more importantly my rankings have also. As for costs. I pay about $44 for the respected VPS and $50 for the SEO one per month. The video card cost me about $200 and the 3rd monitor was $99. So say $300-$350 for setup and $94 a month for VPS. So for a 2 year cost (including setup) it's about $2600. Which with the electricity savings would have to be pretty on par with buying 2 more puters for home (with the associated repair costs you'll almost definately incur).

I'm not sure where you are, or how your ISP's charge. But here in Oz we still pay for bandwidth so that makes the argument even better for VPS's, as it would cost me hundreds of $$$ per month to use the kind of bandwidth at home that I chew thru with 2 x VPS's. Another factor would be the speed. I tested a SB run with all the same settings and a list of over 250K and the VPS completed the task in about 1/3rd of the time as taken with my home connection.

Hope that helps
