I wonder - how does powdercoating deal with heat? if you properly masked everything off, it would be interesting to see how it came back..lol

DaMulta. Congrats man! Great job.

I did notice, looking all the pics, that you have great hardware power for Folding@Home!

Are you into folding already?

If not please join us.

Thanks I really hopped a lot of people would like it as much as me. I just can't get a pic of what it looks like in person. I wish I could!!!!

-----
People get pissed at my reasons for not folding. I think they should pay you for it, or that they should give you a way to write it off at the end of the year.


Your folding from a school that will get funding from big business. Those guys get to write that off because it's a donation. When what your folding becomes finished a company will take that information and make millions with it. They will turn around and make more donations. School gets money(everyone that works there gets a pay check) Big business makes money (they wrote there donations off as a tax donation).

So in the end the home person does not get to write it off, and he does not get any kind of money back at all. In fact he or she will have to pay full price for what he or she helped create at home. They should at least pay a fee that would cover the electric cost to Fold. That's how I think about it. I do agree that it is a good thing, but I think that the system is wrong they get all the awards(money all of them) you are left with a folding number of what you did and a bill that you have to pay.

+1 to that Damulata.

I think folding is great but I just don't think it is worth it to myself personally.

I am definitely in agreement with DaMulta. If they would just cover my costs of folding, in one way or another, I would certainly fold a whole heck of a lot more. Either let me write if off at the end of the year, or work out some kind of system where they pay me a little per point, just enough to cover what it costs me in power(I don't mind the cost in time to set it up and manage).

Even if they gave you $0.001(one tenth of a cent) per point, that would be enough. Right now I would make about $5.60 a day, which is probably about what it costs in power to keep all my machines folding.

As it is, I have to cut my PPD in about half because I can't afford the power to keep all the machines running and folding 24/7.

You have done a really good job of showing it off though. I know for me its the hardest part of modding, showing all the things you do in just a few picts.

This log really helped. I was going to take pics of cutting that hole in the case. I got out side and it was getting dark...I wanted to get my steak that I had just cooked.....

I bet the hardest thing for you is taking the extra time to take the pics. Then not wanting to take a step back and take them. Also my cell phone camera sucks
I should of went and bought more AA right then and there. I did the first time just bought other stuff instead without think until I made it home.


I also have to walk in another room or take it to the bathroom where there are a row of bright lights to take pics. Flash just ruins the pics...most of the time.
