Thank you King.

Schro · Oct 27, 2006

This contest is just in time for the winter.... I'll be assembling a few boxen this week for strategic placement around my pad.

iSkylla · Oct 27, 2006

Good luck to everyone. I would enter but I just don't have enough power. Again good luck!

zim01 · Oct 27, 2006

Best of Luck.......takes guts to enter a challenge.....

Pocatello · Oct 27, 2006

can I have a 50 day head start?

At least I won't be finishing last

Maybe second-to-last, but not dead last.

edit: can all the contestants post their badges here so I can size you all up please?
I'm averaging about 650 ppd right now, not really able to ramp up much.

edit2: Found everyone's badges. Some heavy hitters in here, hopefully I'll be out of the green section of badges by the time it's over. Good luck all.

Ice9 = Cedrick Battlewind
Roman79 = Round_Square

I "might" be able to get up to the 500ppd range (2 AMD 2500+ OC to 2.2Ghz should be up by then to add to my whopping ~220ppd)
I would make you eat those words if I could.

Question 0900 Hours - which time zone?

Slightly over the 1kPPD is fine as long the 7 days average prior to the Nov. 1 is <= 1000PPD avg [Correct?]

Yeah, but it's real life that counts mate.

How good are mac G5s? I've got a buddy with a Quad I might be able to convince to fold for me.

iSkylla · Oct 27, 2006

I don't think it's too late as long you are still within the regs

I am going to run the stats at 9am eastern. But they pull from Hardfolding.com, so we will be on HF time.

The time to enter was closed at 2pm Friday. However, if there is a 100% vote from the current contestants to let you enter, I have no problem with it.

[BRO]Alaskan · Oct 28, 2006

I just lost a machine. The power supply erupted into a ball of flame 3' in diam. I put the fire out cause I just happened to be next to it when it happened. I got a little scorched and it caught some paper on fire that were near it.I don't know what else was destroyed.

Yikes, PSU is definately not something you want to skimp on, esspecially for a 24-7 folding machine! We've all heard marty's story about the flaming shits his PSUs had, what you described sounds more like, flaming explosive diareha~ Good you didn't get hurt! Would love to see some pics of the damage, lol.. Fold on!

OUCH!!!....I know the feeling..I lost a PCP&C to a small fire......They had a bad batch while ago,,I was lucky enough to get one

They gave me a new one no questions asked, and it had 2 more SATA connectors than my old one..I was pretty happy

AtomicMoose · Oct 30, 2006

Well, we have not yet heard from everyone, but if I don't get any objections by the end of today, Crosshairs is in.

tsuehpsyde · Oct 30, 2006

Let him play Moose. Just make him let you give the usual reach through.

The more, the merrier, the more proteins folded, the closer we are to a cure.

BTW, you're all going down bitches.

Celerator · Oct 30, 2006

This is going to be fun to watch.

Best wishes to all, and let the best borger win the prize!
