At 700 a month it might be a good investment....

I would give the farm away for free if the recipient could guarantee they would crunch on.
$700 dollar a month power bills are starting to take a toll on the wife.

The hell is going on? 123Bob is eating some RAMMIE pie tonight :D

And I got the pink...

Sorry, I had to take a dump and couldn't hold it anymore....:D

Oh and DaMulta! Snap out of it. Let's see some output man.

YEAH, What the HELL!! Let's get it together folks....Our points were a bit low today......

CRUNCH, CRUNCH, CRUNCH!! @ the "old" TPU WCG folks.... CP seems to have caught the bug. To all the others, do it now, or forever hold your peace.....We have a chance for a sub-forum. Don't screw it up..... There are no excuses.....Particularly when you are running against a B3 quad that has been running straight for two years, and is now on my "123bob_TPU" account.....

To our newest members, I see you on the TPU stats page, you didn't check in here, but WELCOME to the small NUTHOUSE we have going here...:)

Bob

EDIT: And no, I did not triple post....Three topics, all TPU WCG, with only one thread to work with......

EDIT#2: Sorry if the above sounded harsh.... It's not my intent to be a nagging wife....:nutkick::eek:..I'm only trying to get to our objective....;)

I understand, my e-bill was in the $500-550 range when all my boxes were online. I'm unemployed now and have over 30 boxes sitting idle and can't give them away[at least cheap anyway].

Hi Mike nice to see you here for anyone that doesn't know Mike is another mega-cruncher like RAMMIE. :respect:
Mike and RAMMIE. Just a thought I get these wild ideas now and again. :) Why don't you work out how much electricity say a quad use and see if someone wants to pay the electricity costs to run it in their name. It would save them sitting doing nothing. I did have 18 computers running mostly xp2400, and I found it was a lot of work to keep them running. I have now sold most of them off. If I can say sold my last one I sold for £10 was a AMD mp2400. Apart from the case and PSU It's now upgraded to a quad. So my farm now is 4 quads and 2 old mps.

Go Msgclb! You rolled me over like I was standing still. Gotta get the tire tracks out of my shirt still....:D:laugh::toast:

From my research you're using only one machine as 123bob_TPU but as 123bob you're in control of 46. My two i7 machines and now a Q6600 should be able to roll over that lonely machine you're using as 123bob_TPU. First of all do I have the above statement correct and what is the best computer you have dedicated to 100% usage using either name? I'm going to start collecting pennies to build one more computer and I'm still haven't decided if it's going to be another i7 or something that can beat it.

Damn I opened up the dell latitude D610 keyboard was SMOKING HOT

Yet it crunched all night at 100%

So I now have two machines crunching....looking for a power strip for another laptop to kill to death with BOINC

...Unless you sell them to other crunchers.....

he might actually put his actual current pc to crunch and might use the amd rig I sold him for his daily use. But dont worry I'll talk to him and make him crunch with the rig I sold him :D

of course, he'll sign up to TPU!

You should take out a loan and install solar power. I bet the loan would cost less than the solar power. Who knows maybe you could make more power than you use, and have the electrical company pay you.

This is sort of obvious so I apologize for mentioning it, but did you clean out the heat sink? I did that once on the gf's machine and it looked like something one of the cats hacked up - and the machine was only a year old at the time. Laptop heatsinks are like a black hole for fur and dust. They float in on the breeze from other zip codes to find your heatsink.

20+years to break even.
I'm 50yrs old.I would rather max out the CC and keep it that way and see the banks try and collect from a dead man.Can't do that though.To many things I want to do.

Now you're talking. I just re-upped and it cost me about your electric bill :D

Even .22 is $6 a box now. .45LC is $32...and I've gotten addicted to the .40...been running hundreds of rounds a week through it.

I know I mentioned it earlier in this thread but it's worth repeating. You can use rightmark cpu clock utility to lower the vcore on your lappies. With a little experimentation you'll be pleasantly surprised how low you can run your vcore at stock speeds and still maintain 100% stability. Ideal for crunching with lappies.
