World Community Grid February Team Challenge

It's official now! I'm proud to announce a Team challenge for the last three weeks of February and first week of March. The competition will run from February 8th to March 8th.

The requirements & rules:
  • Post in this thread saying that you're joining the competition
  • Crunch at least 25,000 BOINC points for TPU's WCG team (this is doable even with a Core 2 Duo--I want everyone to have a chance)
  • (Preferrably) turn in points at least half of the days between Feb8 and Mar8
  • Winners will be chosen on March 8th or 9th with Random.org
  • You can enter late! If you don't see this until after the 8th, still post saying you're interested, and drop me a PM!


The prizes:
  • Misc DDR2 RAM, LGA775 CPUs, HDDs (Ion)
  • 2x $20+ PayPal gifts (Ion)
  • 2x Radeon HD7770 (mjkmike)
  • i7-3930k (mjkmike)
  • P9X79 Pro (mjkmike)
  • Misc hardware (Mad Shot)
  • $25 via PayPal (Bow)
  • Radeon 7770 (Norton)
  • 2x2GB DDR3 memory kit (Norton)
  • 500w PSU (Norton)
  • 4g tube of MX-2 thermal past (dank1983man420)
  • Red LED fan (dank1983man420)
  • Alienware Keyboard (manofthem)
  • 2*$100 FrozenCPU Gift Cards (NF_Blake)
  • $25 via PayPal (NHKS)

I'm still looking for prizes, so let me know if you have something you'd like to contribute. We'll be having a mid-challenge game giveaway, so far we have:
  • AMD Never Settle Game Promo (Ion) - Given away
  • AMD Nexuiz Coupon (Ion) - Given away
  • Left4Dead 2 (stinger608) - Given away

  • Spec Ops: The Line (NHKS) - Given away
  • Hitman: Absolution (NHKS) - Given away
  • Iron Brigade (manofthem)
  • Sleeping Dogs (theonedub) - Given away

All you need to do is let World Community Grid run on your computer, it computes data and returns work units, and then they're validated by the WCG system and you get points
