Hehe Send me all the hardware you can ill put it to use for TPU! I live with my parents as im only 16 so let's run their electricity bill up and just say were keeping the house warm and its cheaper than filling up the propane tank!

[NastyHabits]

Holy crapanoly. I'm in 20th place on the daily listings. Wow! Nice output guys. I did have to shut down a PC. Even so, 21K and barely make the listings? Nice work everyone.

When I had decided to join the team I was getting some decent pie all day long, now I don't even get close. Akward, but it's actually not a good sign.

[Josh154]

Im shooting for the top 20 everyday, i don't think ill be able to get it so after christmas its time to add another gpu I have a third PCI slot that's open and well it needs some lovin with another card Im thinking hopefully a gtx 570 for christmas and then i can have 1 8800gts be a phsyx card and have them all folding I like that idea!

For some of us, our numbers will be down a little for a few days (about 6 or 7 days) but as a team the PPD will still be close. Hoping this Xmas Santa will bring some new Fermi's or them nice -bigadv i7's to add to the team effort and next year 2011 will be even better for our output (PPD).

[Chicken Patty]

Amen Bill!!

[Beertintedgoggles]

Well, thanks to a ghetto mod on a router and a fresh windows install on another rig I should be back to producing a steady ~20k PPD. Here's a glimpse of a real man's router.... also known as a piece of crap Belkin that kept overheating (it was free with our cable tv/internet installation):

Ah, very nice work. I like the "built for function" theme.

That is an extremely good idea! Did you grab those plates and standoffs from an electronics shop? I think I might attempt something similar, and use an array of colored fans, as well as a 20 port switch!

[Josh154]

That router is awesome!

Thanks for all those helping me regain my points, i just had to do a fresh install of windows and am reinstalling all my clients now. Got the case modded some more today also and it's ready to go now with lower temps on the h50!

Still trying to figure out the deal with usps on the second 8800gts coming. Soon as that get's here my main rig is capable of at least 15k!

Loving that route

The plates were scrap from our metal shop at work and the fan was from an old upconverter box here (we build RF/satellite testers). So the whole mod ended up being free. The router has not dropped its connection since taking it out of that easy-bake oven plastic housing.

Back in the pie thanks to my trusty new GTS450s!

Congrats! How many do ya got now in the folding rig?

My second 8800gts should be here today! The post office here just gave me a call saying that they have my package and it will be here around noon central time! Then it's time to throw that in the rig and get it folding along with the other 8800gts and q6600!

Then after that i need to pick up another cheap folding card something like a 8800gt and a bigger PSU and fold away! Im estimating that if i pick up another card like a 8800gt my rig will be in the 20k+ range

Oh and one more question. I am folding smp clients on my q6600 and i seem to get alot of large work units worth over 4k by the time i am done folding them but these take forever. Ever so randomly i get project 6073's that are worth about 2.5k and i fly through these much quicker and can usually get 2 done a day. I have also gotten some smaller 921's on my q6600 and those only take a couple hours to complete! I also get about 1k PPD difference in hfm when i get a 6073 or even smaller work units over the large ones.

The laptop with the i3 330m constantly gets 6073's and the smaller 921 pt work units. Is their a way to configure my q6600 so it will get all the smaller smp work units so i can fly through them quicker and get more done?
