Dear Santa, I want a... (for Folding)

chuckerants · 12-19-09, 09:11 PM

GTX 260 216.

As broke as I am, I'd like to be able to maximize my PPD and the least expensive way for me to do that is a (used) GTX 260.

I know I've been bad (again ) this year, but could ya check your least a few more times?

*I already have thread in the WTB forum.

Thanks Santa.

What are you guys asking Santa for (Folding-wise that is)?

I want a quad core

Not going to get one, but i am getting a nice waterblock though!

chuckerants · 12-19-09, 09:22 PM

Yeah, I've been Windows shopping for a Quad too (pun intended) and I won't be getting one either.

I'd be happy with a AthlonX4 620 and an eVGA 240GT (throw that sucker in my second PCI-e slot, and not have to worry bout power (uses PCI-e power only)

chuckerants · 12-19-09, 09:46 PM

GT240= 96 SP
GTX 260 216 = 216 SP

I realize that... but I'm limited on funds, and I dont think my PSU could handle anything that needs its own plug at this point :P

That was fast lol! PM replied.
Jeeze I just got the thing tonight!

dark bishop · 12-20-09, 01:05 AM

wouldnt mind a few 8800's, bigger (9 series or up) is better of course but i'd take what ever i could get.

AmbientFiction · 12-20-09, 05:18 AM

What I'd like and what I need are honestly 2 different things. Being super broke like I am right now and I've been amazingly good after the f'ed up year I've been through.

The only things I could really use:
1 - 2 GB DC Mushkin DDR (If Santa feels like it)
1 - 2 DVD +-R/RW/DL burner
1 - 2 939 SLI/CrossFire boards

I'm sure I won't get any of that stuff till I have the cash for myself.
Now want is a different story:
1 of these
4 of these
4 of these
Enough Blackline Mushkin DDR2 to fill this puppy to 128GB by 16 sticks.
1 or 2 Gal of 3m FC-72
a bunch of Lexan
Dual phasechange system
Oh yeah for that I guess I need a PSU huh......Yeah but hey santa knows it would go to F@H even when I was gaming.

the_cultie · 12-20-09, 07:50 AM

Would love a whole Core i7 rig with a few 295's to run at work so I can fold more, couldnt afford to run it at home.

Outback_Jon · 12-20-09, 09:19 AM

Well, Santa won't be doing it, but when the IRS gives me back my money in February, there will be several PhenomII quads and 260GTXs. (maybe something a little higher in my computer) Probably a couple of power supplies to allow the kids' computer to run GTXs.

ebug122 · 12-20-09, 09:40 AM

I wouldn't mind an i7 and another 260 but that's not gonna happen

Now that school's out I wouldn't worry too much about me. I'll be gaming more in the next few weeks

Jolly-Swagman · 12-20-09, 09:50 AM

Santa seeing I cant afford much this Christmas Some GSkill DDR3 2000/1600 Ram would be Nice for the M/B I won in Rossie Rac Harvest, and maybe a GTX-260 for the Wife for her Rig to Fold more,

But most important would some Prayers that the Wife gets well soon as she hasnt been well of late.

chuckerants · 12-20-09, 10:05 AM

Boy, some of you guys are going to see me coming up FAST after I get my kids potty trained (no more buying diapers).
