As a note, the winner for the fully built rig will come from a pool of only new / newest team members (crunching or folding) who meet the requirements for eligibility. So if you have been on the fence on whether to join either the folding team or the WCG team now you have a great incentive, the chance to win a purposed built rig.

While this rig is a purpose built lean crunching machine, it will do more as it is a fully functional desktop rig.

In the advanced view, make sure it is not suspended or set to no new tasks.
You can also select Update in the Projects Tab, and that should hopefully give you new tasks.
If you have no current tasks running or ready to send you can also select Reset, doing this will delete all current files and get new tasks.
