Greg,
Actually, my laptop is running SETI 16/7. I turn it off when I go to bed, as it gets pretty hot running the program.
All,
I need some advice. I think I'm going crazy, I check my SETI stats like 3-4 times a day. I hope this "SETI bug" that I caught is just a phase. Ok, I have $400 to spare. I am thinking of getting a used PC, but all I can find is something like a Pentium III 600 mhz barebone. I've been doing some reading on building PCs. And I think it's more economical for me to put together a PC rather then going to the local shop and pick up a used unit. However, I've never build a PC. I've looked around and seems an Athlon XP system would be cheaper to build then a Pentium4. I don't know, maybe after I get one going, I could try to overclock it. But it's kinda of confusing when I read about all this stuff. There's so many different kinds of combination of motherboard/CPU/memory, I'm not quite sure which path to take.
If you hav $400 to put together a good SETI PC, what would your would you recommend? And which online/local CA vendors do you suggest? Thanks again. My friends thinks I'm nutts as they don't understand why I need 3 or 4 computers. Well, it's time for my morning jog, see you later.
