Yep, looks like we are netting about 11 million a day

Should put us at around 77 million or there about.

It's possible. KieX is cranking it with his cards, t_ski is, and now I'm starting to too. Hopefully we can hit 80M!!!

I will let the decision to who won go to the Captain and his crew. A 7700 does around 20K PPD and I hope it will be used 24/7 as long there is GPU crunching work.

*Note a second 7770 (used- MSI model #R7770-PMD1GD5)- donated by KieX is available under the same terms/conditions as above

I used the Poll on this thread for the list of prize entrants. If you didn't vote then you aren't on this list- you can add your name to the list by posting to this thread or sending me a PM by 8pm Eastern today.

Reminder of qualification requirements for a prize

Requirements/terms to qualify for a prize:
- Participate in both weeks of the HCC Challenge (CPU and/or GPU)
- Earn a minimum of 25,000 BOINC points for Team WCG-TPU during the Qualifying period (see below)*
* points do not have to be all HCC work units
- 7770 graphics card prizes are reserved for 2 new crunchers (entrants to be reviewed shortly)
- Qualifying period ends when all participants reach 25,000 BOINC points or 11/28/2012 (whichever comes 1st)
- Winners will be chosen randomly at the end of the qualifying period.

Note(s):
- If for some reason you cannot participate in the 1st week of the Challenge or start late you may still qualify for the prizes, PM me or the Team Captain (Chicken Patty) to discuss your situation and we'll make those decisions on an individual basis
- Reminder- the Big prize is BOTH rigs- one to crunch with, one to give to charity (organization, friend/family member in need, family in need, etc...).

But what fun would that have been, right? We fight to the end, even when we don't need to. We did a lot of good
