Nice idea and program man
Just a question though... how do you know exactly how much EU is being drawn? is it a guess on the programs part, or is it using say ccSensors?

From the screenshot, I'd say it's guesstimating by looking at the redstone input from the EU flow detector adjacent to the computer.

i think you have to input the amount of eu first and then it will count the seconds passing by while the redstone is on

Like Lyqyd said, it's just calculating the amount of time that EU is flowing through the cable. You probably need to input the EU packet size before it starts. Time x EU packets = EU used

would be cool to have a version of this work with ccSensors or openCCSenors and get real readings

or just one peripheral mod that makes all kinds of blocks from other mods a peripheral so that for example we can use the detector cable as an peripheral to count eu/sec or something

Well, I'd say you need to input the EU/t and then it monitors for when the EU is running. I'm going to try and make a system to maintain a solid EU/t value. Probably 32EU/t.

I really like this idea, it's funny because I was thinking of setting up a server (in-game) using computers as data storage units. I an currently working on using these data centers to receive user login throughout the town. I also wanted to send the data this receives to the data center, But the rednet only receives at a 64 block radius. So this would be useless unless there was some sort of network tower for computercraft since my town will be very large.

2)If it's your server, you can increase the rednet range.
