I just ordered a new power supply for my server, which will enable me to stuff another video card in there for folding. I don't have any spares of my own, but I figured someone here has one they could send me... in return, I'll fold on it in your name. It will be a dedicated folder, 24/7 uninterrupted.

I can't say for sure that I'll be able to do this yet as I don't actually have the power supply yet and I'm not exactly sure how it will work out, but I figured I would make the thread anyway so everyone would have a chance to see it, so hopefully I would have a deal ready to go when I do get the new power supply.

I've got some conditions, though:
1. Nvidia cards only please. I already have one Nvidia card in there and I really don't want to be messing around with getting Nvidia and ATi cards to play nice together.

2. The card can have one 6-pin power connector max. No power connector at all will work too, like a 9600GT green edition or something.

3. I'll only be folding for members on team TPU. No sending me a video card to get me to help you out with some contest at some other site. :nutkick:

And that's about it. Send me the card and I'll fold on it for you. I'll take good care of it: I won't be overclocking it, and I'll keep it nice and clean so the temps don't skyrocket. If you want it back, I'll send it back to you. I just ask that you pay the shipping (both ways). I don't need anything fancy, First Class/Parcel Post or whatever will do, but I do ask that you use delivery conformation and send me the number.
 
Now seriously guy's, Hat has been a faithful founding member of the F@H team. He is offering a lucky person Free Electricity. I can appreciate his generous offer. If it has little appeal to you, then you are most likely not a F@H member or a candidate for this offer. Kudo's to Hat!

I am still at work, but I have a 8800gs and a 9600 that were both donated to me.
PM me.

Is that 9600 a 9600GT?
 
Deal's off. Something happened to the package... either someone at UPS accidentally it or someone in my apt building ganked it cause UPS likes to leave things at your front door. :rolleyes:
 
I have a ati x1600xt :P wish i had one for yea :S
 
Got Bow's 9600GT today... I figured it was low power enough to stick in another rig. So far, it's chugging along nicely.
 
I have room for one more, anyone got a spare card?
 
Hmmm....tempting, tempting indeed. YGPM
 
Just in case anyone was still wondering, I don't have any more spare slots available. I bought an 8800GT off my uncle for $40, but it has a dinky single slot cooler. I'm gonna try strapping a fan to it. I ordered a Intel S775 fan, going to replicate this
