No that's combined effort of all the trekkers and all the equipment that they are running individually.

how do they stay on for so long?
i thought eventually a computer would just reach a breaking point or something?

Well yes eventually everything bites the dust but many of us actually believe that they last longer if you leave them on than they do when you turn them on and off because of the transition between hot and cold components.

Better to keep them at a nice steady temp.

I've not had one burn out on me yet in ten years of crunching and my first machine which was a store bought Dell Dimension 8100 many moons ago is still going though with a different owner as I like to keep up with technological advances as soon as the cost comes down to what I consider normal.

It seems some people haven't been able to download my Stats image for whatever reason so I've moved it to photobucket( as much as I dislike using them ) the stats for BaseCamp 10/29/09:

 

[Sport]

@ RAMMIE ...I'm going to PM you...I need to find some way to get you valid points if you are on this trek with us......

 

[vaiopup]

RAMMIE's numbers are correct Sport.
He has sent me his stats daily since he joined us, as has mike

so I need to take your #'s and count backwards to ...what the 25th?? to get a benchmark ...that'll work!!!! ThanX

 

[Sport]

@TPU...you are great hosts ...I apologize for seeming to be all business ...I am crunching for your cause of the common good for mankind...screw the stats they are so messed up that they probably don't matter anyway!!!

 

[vaiopup]

Hope so cos asking RAMMIE for his numbers again will piss him off
Be easier in future because he won't have previous stats on teams we visit.....a lot simpler when we all start at zero

Sport, just for this trek lets go with my numbers===they are not fancy or technical but they do the job

In future I will leave the numbers to you (and give trek notice )
