[ChasR]

I don't bother to turn them off to blow out the dust. The fans act as dust extactors.

I was talking about the dustbunnies hugging the cards like concrete

 

[ChasR]

For that I use my oilless shop air compressor. No dust bunny can withstand it. My wife looks at me kind of funny when I start dragging air hose in from the garage and the dust cloud created can be impressive if the rig hasn't been blown out in a while.

One of those would be nice to have

Either way, PPD is dropping after the Chimp Challenge for some good old GFX card troubleshooting, and a nice deep clean on the box while I'm at it

 

[Drugless]

I welcome Team Drugless with open arms. The only thing I ask is that if you're bringin' it... you bring it from the opening gate. The Team Captains' expressed a distaste for folks moving around during the challenge. However, if you're not already Folding for another Team involved in the challenge, then I see no problem with you joining us for the race whenever you want. I think that's called good recruitment.

I have never folded for any of the teams in the CC except 32 so I guess I'm in the clear?

Sweet!!! I think that makes you an official T32monkey, no questions asked. Now, how much do I have to beg to keep you here all the time.

unfortunately my revived 8800gt seems to be on it way out again so ppd is down, hopefully i can get a few of my spare boxes going to make up for it.

 

[FatCamel]

Last call for protein folding just on more day left till it is time to switch for the CC

 

[harlam357]

Thanks for the call to Fold FC!!! I'll be doing a stats update this evening, and then again on Sunday with the final numbers.

 

[HayesK]

All my i7 are currently running their last bigadv wu for HayesK prior to the start of the CC. The i7 will be running a few regular SMP later this weekend, then reconfig for T32monkeys Monday morning before heading off to work, which should post results Wed afternoon/evening. Plan to switch the remaining CPU late Tuesday night, and the GPU early Wed morning.

 

[harlam357]

I think that's an excellent plan Hayes... I'm putting my i7s on -oneunit tonight as well. From some reading I've done, it appears some teams think you can switch the bigadv or A3 WUs in the middle of a WU and get credit for the new username and passkey. I trust our membership knows better. Maybe if just changing the username, but NOT in conjunction with the Passkey.
