I'm curious, if you rented out a server, could you have it do these computations 24/7?

Well, technically, but what it really needs is a graphics card, which server computers rarly have decent variations of.
Not to mention constantly running such a process would probably get your server deactivated.

A Radeon HD 5970 can put out 802 Mhash/s.

If someone had a PC fitted with that they would be instantly rich.

Well, only about 30 dollars a day, that's only like 1000$ a month.

Wait that's a lot for doing nothing holy stuff.

EDIT: Is there any field in that "gpu caps" program, or any other, that can tell me how much energy I am using?
Should I seriously worry about this raising the electricity bill any more than if the computer was just left running without the program working on it?

Where do I get the ATI Stream/OpenCL thing for my card, i'm pretty sure it supports it.

I just searched for the website of my graphics card and downloaded the standard drivers packs they had.

BTW, how can I make sure I'm using as much of my efficency as I can?
My card apparently isn't getting hot and I'm only getting 10 to 10.6Mhash/s and I'm kinda wondering if there is anyway at all I could improve this. Perhaps there's some 'other' part of my card or something I could use?
