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! :p

Well im only 16 right now so mom's paying for electricity bill :p Then college with a dorm for a bit so that's covered then. Then after that, well i guess im on my own :ohwell:

@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 ;)

Hmm, well i may have to look into it and start drawing up some plans. What's some good programs to use? Google sketchup?

Here's a link For him.

Cool thanks man!

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.

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.:toast:

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

The i5 760 bundle will replace my system specs UD5/i7 combo. Then those power supplies and hard drives will power my dedicated crunchers. The 8400GS is because I don't really need any graphical power to crunch.

Should end up with something like this:

R3E + 950 + 8400GS + WDC Blue + AX750 (WCG)
UD5 + 920 + (for now 460) + WDC Blue + AX750 (WCG)
CHIV + 1090T + (eventually 480 + 460) + spare drive + HX1000W (F@H)
P7P55D-E + i5 760 + (eventually 6950 or 570) + HX750 (Games and stuff)

Temps on the H70 on exhaust are as low as they were on intake in my stacker. Not even sure how that's possible, there must be no heat build up at all.

Ok it's about time I got around to posting pics of my rig or rigs. So here's a few pics over the years.
2007 First PC I ever built from scratch, E6750@2.6ghz, 2GB Ram, XFX 8800gts 320mb, 160gb HD.

Next up last year sometime I think.
2009 PC built form all used parts, Q9450@2.6ghz, 6gb Ram, ATI 4870 1gb, numerous HDs for storage.

Now I don't have a house of my own so I got no rig for a while.:( I know the cable management could be better too.
