Ahh that wouldn't be a bad idea then either. I could crunch on the AMD rig and as of now, im not addicted to crunching like i am folding.

i stopped folding, and only crunch today. at some point in your future you will eventually run out of money, and then there are 3 options:
-keep folding and crunching, and spend a little money on both
-keep crunching, spend most on crunching and some on videocards that give good performance instead of good PPD, if you game.
-keep folding, spend most on VGAs, and you have to buy NVIDIA ones,in order to get good PPD/Watt

just to give you a lookout on what may come!

@josh154 you asked " Is acrylic hard to work with?" it's not that much more work than wood you just gotta remember to measure twice cut once and take your time, patience will reward you with a good lookin tech station that'll make this lot jealous for sure

Right on the fact of taking your time with acrylic.. If you don't take your time when you cut your pieces, it'll start to melt on you. But, the Modders Acrylic from Mod/smart is suppose to be the best modding acrylic out there. I have some panels for my build, but yet to have the spot to be at using it..

Personally I think acrylic is more forgiving than wood, as it's tensile strength is higher, and not dependent on the quality of the wood itself, and even the "expensive" stuff is cheap. Also it's far easier to bend acrylic, than wood, as all acrylic requires is a blow dryer or a heat gun, and some time, where as wood depending on the thickness can require equipment that's expensive and hard to find.

Finally, got around to cleaning my desk, and took a pic. To the left of the monitor, below is my main rig, and above it, on the desk is where my folding/crunching rig is coming together.



And to the right of the monitor, is a Vinyl player

MMmmmmmmm, Vinyl. (Yes, it is capitalized on purpose)

I'm saving to grab a replacement P-Mount Ortofon cartridge and Phono preamp fopr my old Technics turntable, just to get set back up. Then I'll work on getting a new table.

Ha, I didn't know what to do with myself, I normally complain about stuff and say if I only had the time, yet when I do have the time, I'm so bored I haven't a clue what to do.

Confused by the 8400 in the middle. Why? Or was it more of a why not choice?
