Just for the record, we were looking at this at work, since we often have access to entire TOP500 Supercomputers, so would be a good way to do some burnin testing whilst making some money, at least maybe to cover power costs...
Supposedly a 4 socket Opteron 6174 does 115MHashes/sec, make that say 120MHashes/s for the...
One node running flat out all day would generate $0.06....
The entire Supercomputer running - $13 per day...
This machine let's not forget is about 840 Watt per node... That's (190KW basically...) So at 16p per kWh that costs £30.40 per hour to run, that's £729.60 per DAY to run...
That's how shit the workload of Bitcoin is - it's just insane... As said earlier, unless you're running ASIC, don't even bother, not worth the time or the effort.
