    Aaaaccckkk!!! OK, I fold for the cause and enjoy some light-hearted trash talking about points but this is unbelievable! This guy has gone ballistic and I'm not sure if he'll stop after these 18 i7's either!:eek No GPU folding here. Besides memory, he just needs a PSU and low-end GFX card. I'll find a pic of his wooden rack where the cards just hang when I can find it. :drool BTW, he expects some 320 to 400K PPD, of course depending on the WUs.:major

    OMG thats just mental..... I knwo I may blow $$$$$$$$$$$ on tech but wooooohaaaa thats got my admiration.

    Side note:
    We now have a Best Buy near us and was mental today on grande openings! didnt buy anything but did wander around for 30mins, hope they have some good deals like they do have in the USA. Did get some weird looks when looking at laptops and PCs, wonder why..... I did have a Microsoft lanyard on which has my works ID and security passes attached too, maybe they thought I was spying for Steve B! hahahhaha

    Don't let it get you down, Fred.
    You're still doing better than most (if not all) of the rest of the team.

    Not worried about it at all Hrlow2! Had a big 'farm' back in the old CPU folding days. I might get back into more one day, just have other hobbies and things to spend my money on.

    Would be nice to see some results from all the WU's. I am sure they will have some one day. :-D

    VJ Pande actually talked about a couple of projects that has those guys excited and if they are excited then so am I.:)

    Now on to some more folding pron, he has added 7 more i7's and redid his 'rack'! The power that must take, besides probably having a secondary electrical box. Looks like he's got plenty of room in that rack for another 9 cards!:eek:major He's gonna beat my alltime record of 11.9M points in a few hours. Now there's some folding inflation eh?

    Damn creases.

    I do have to add at this point, if it where not for the users of apps like F@H that medical science would be back many years on its information, so its a great thanks too all that fold that medical science in nay areas is moving forward at a vast rate of knots, not that we need to slow down.

    We could do with many more members folding for majorgeeks and for science.

    It would be nice to see more folding here. Go to some of the top folding teams sites and see how they recruit. ;)

    This guy wants to be a whole huge team all on his own! Another 16 i7's in the works.:banghead That'll take him up to 37 i7's! That's some $18K.:eek That's dedication to the cause man.

    Damn, that's a lot of folding power. Glad I don't have his electric bill.;)

    He's not paying for it as apparently his company blows through a lot of power and it wouldn't be even noticed. I just hope he's doing it on the up and up as one could get fired for that as some have. Can't lose a job like that where one can afford to spend that kind of money just to fold.

    LoL, that was the old Fred_G. I am now a quiet noncompetitive person. :-D Of course, depending on your GPU, you might could fold with that. And for heaven's sake, don't borg anything! ;)
