Our of interest, has anyone ever made a wind/solar/nuclear
D) powered computer yet? I imagine that would be a nice thing for folding, even if it was a low power Atom jobbie...Where are all the folders?

Welcome back
Rich hasn't been active for a long time, though he's very busy work/moving atm as someone has checked up on him though (can't remember who).
Meh, the climate is fine. Besides, if the news were to be believed scientists skew the data anyway to suit their particular views!

Well there was an article on tomshardware a while ago about building your own solar powered, low-power PC. Quite an interesting read.
If you can generate enough of your own electricity, you start getting money off the electric company! Probably not a lot, but I am tempted to build a turbine one day!

if your lived in europe it's worth it - as a sustainable micropower producer you buy electric at 12p and sell it at 20p
In the UK you buy at 10-15p and sell at 2p - it's a scandel.
With an ups units a laptop can be run off solar with relative ease.
Cut out the AC and solar power makes sence - boats are good working examples.
small wind turbine and solar cell is enought to run the 12v lighting/kitchen/IT
Seen a few houses run off grid - but it's all 12v

I'm down to one Q6600 with no usable GPU, and I'm crunching for http://www.stephenbrooks.org/muon1/ as it's just down the road from me

I looked into building a solar-powered folding machine once.
I quickly got over the idea when I worked out how many years it would take to offset the cost of the panel.
edit - plus it was a stupid idea in Manchester! haha

I'm alive!!!
Been a busy few (and then some) months since I was last here - loads of changes in my life and been on a bit of a journey. On the plus side I've lost a couple of stone, moved into my own mini-house, and as of 6th April I should have a shiny new landline and will be getting ADSL arranged as soon as BT let me know what the number will be.
Not sure what sort of output I will bring as the move has pretty much crippled my bank account but I'm sure it won't take long for me to get the bug again and sell a kidney or something
Great to see there are still a rampant band here, also great job on the news mister scotland - keep up the good work and I'll concentrate on trying to get some numbers next to my name.
Good to be back - well nearly back anyway

OMG 
Good to see a post from yourself mate.
Maybe I should issue that parp now instead of a few days

Welcome back due! Good to see you about again

I was using 2 ps3's to fold but now down to 1. I dont mind turning over some pc time to folding if someone could tell me would it be a disaster in waiting to have the boinc running as well as folding home? Thanks all

good to see you posting in the forum again rich - mini house sound very intresting.

I have thought about it... my boss in work actually suggested me taking my folding machines into work, the server room and running them there, he seemed interested when I told him what I was doing...
Only myself and my boss has a key to the server room, but I'm still a little apprehensive!
