    I currently have 1 machine folding for Team Major Geeks.
    Have a second machine waiting to go online once router arrives.
    Will be getting a third and possibly fourth in the near future.
    Question is : Will all machines be working on the same project, or will each be getting their own to process?
    Machines will be running pretty much 24/7 for maximum effect.

    Each will be getting it's own work unit to be done.
    You going CPU or GPU folding?

    Since all machines are Small Form Factor with only onboard graphics, will be going the CPU route. All are P4 HT capable.

    The more the merrier.;)
    Make sure the comps can get good airflow. Those p4s can run hot depending on the model and SFF doesn't have a lot of room inside.
    Have at it.:major

    Jeez hrlow2, I only have two rigs running and it's hot in my room even with 50F air coming in with the windows wide open. I hope those rigs are elsewhere than you are.;)

    As stated, only one running at this time. Hopefully,router and cables will be in by Monday so number two can become active.
