This is a great idea but there is a little gotcha - it's gonna cost a fortune to run as the power consumption will be even higher

That said you could pack a LOT of folding power in a single machine I suppose

Might try to save up for another rig

Aye.. the 8800gtx is capable of pulling about 180 odd watts when being cained.. hence the 2 PCI-E power connectors (75w each) and the slot provides 75w too
