~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Again, Thanks for taking the time to allow me to interview you.
When did you join the Team? Approximate date is ok if you don't know the specific date.
November of '06 -- Yes, I'm a bit new to folding
If there was something recent that you did that you wanted your fellow teammembers to know about, what would it be?
I have just built a rig with an E6600, and an X1950XT... I will take it back to shcool with me and see what numbers i can get out of it.
What is your EOC (extremeoverclockers) stats link?
EOC stats for Sleepy_Steve
You do not have to give specifics (address), but what State do you live in, and if you don't mind telling, what town? (town is not required, but if not a town, a general direction and distance from the nearest 'big town/city' would suffice)
Most of the year I live down in Blacksburg VA attending Virginia Tech. For my few breaks, I spend some time in PG county MD at my dad's place... Like 15min east of Land Shark.
How did you initially hear about F@H?
All these links in peoples sigs, as well as learning about it from my time making my procs crunch for our seti team.
After starting, why do you continue to Fold?
The catalyst for me joining the team was when we (my family) confirmed that my grand father had lung cancer. My first result was returned on the 6th of november, by the 17th he was no longer with us. That is why i started to, and now continue to fold. I am however a stats junkie and they keep me bussy trying optimising things untill i go back to school to spend time away from my mini-farm.
What do you do for a living?
Full time student.
What do you do for fun?
Overclock, Im generaly a hardware nut... I watch my share of movies and anime... as well as PC gaming, mainly MMO's and the occasional shooter to unwind. I am also into cars, more on this latter.
Is there anything special you do in your spare time that you really enjoy?
I have a 240sx, and its a fun little car. I try to take it out to as many Auto Cross events as i can each season. It needs a good bit of work before its compeditive, and a bit more work still before its ready for some track days up at sumit point or VIR. Anyway, I love driving... and love driving fast even more. Needless to say, I am known to hit some back roads at high speed when there is not an Auto Cross to go to that day.
Time to spill your guts. What are the stats of your main folding rig? Why is it your fave? What all do you use the rig for?
Its brand freakin new, and will basicaly be my "do everything rig" for the forseeable future.
E6600 @ 3.2 for now, waiting on a better cooler.
X1950XT 256mb For teh fold and gaming.
2x 1gb Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800, bassed on the C4 chips i think.
250W AT PSU for fans, lights, opticals, and FDD.
610W PC P&C PSU for all the expensive stuff.
Drives... 2x80 gb SATA, 1x 160GB sata, 2x 320gb IDE, floppy / multicard reader combo, and 2x DVD writers.
Do you have a Borg-Farm? If so, how many computers, and what are they? (CPU, RAM)
Yes, Kindof... Small, and not at full production atm, although i hope to get it there by the time i leave for school.
My Pint M laptop, 1.9ghz w/ 1gb dual chanel DDR2 533
My old AMD XP laptop @ 1.0 ghz w/ 256mb ram
Two old Celeron 950's @ 1.33 ghz w/ 256 and 512mb ram respectivley
XP 2400+ @ 2.0 ghz w/ 2gb ram
P4 3.2 @ 3.6ghz w/ 1gb ram
And lastly... E6600 @ 3.6ghz w/ 2gb DDR2 800 ram
What are your future goals? What do you most want to accomplish with your life?
Set up an instance of NotFred's diskless folding before i go back to school. As well as run the full 2007 AutoX season in the BRR SCCA region. Beyond that, Im not too picky, get out of school... find a fulfilling job, or a well paying deskjob... start a family eventualy. Continue to enjoy my hobies. Thats about it.
If there is something you want to tell the team, then spill your guts! What have I missed in my questions that could help the team learn more about you and who you are?
Let there be cheesey poofs!!!
And Sleepy_Steve had sent us some photos too!!
