Ahh, the operation.....
Well I got there (Preston Hospital) at 8:00am yesterday - sat there in the waiting room (no food or drink since midnight) and waited for a further six hours - then was told that there were no beds available and the operation has been cancelled.
Please go directly home, do not pass go and do not collect 200 dollars!!!!
As for the M3 - decided to keep hold of it till the M4's come out (they do look nice)
Luckily for me - I'm not quite at the point of selling body and auto parts on the black market...but that day is not too far away
ARRGH that would drive me potty.. I mean god! The state of private health care in this country is attrocious!

Don't need the gui for anything so its a waste of space and resources.
Only got Desktop on Darkmatter because it was the first one I built and in those days thats what the [H] guys were working with to put it all together. If I got a chance I'd switch it over.

For me I just don't need the GUI in fact I hate the GUI.

Heh if I turn everything on, including the 7970's which should add another 250K AND I get the right WUs (nothing so depressing than getting the lowest performing WU on the highest performing kit) then I might be knocking on 3mil 
that would put me at number 4 or 5 globally.
Probably get divorced before then.

About a tenner a day at the moment, but im being a bit silly right now. Still I don't smoke or go out to the pub on a regular basis so this is my hobby. And given the amount of family and friends ie lost to the illnesses the project is trying to help research cues for I don't think is to bad. But we are always chasing the power performance envelope. Or trying other madcap schemes.. im mining bitcoins at the moment to supplement my power costs.
An 8104 on Event Horizon would have done it
BTW....
The 7970 you have....how did it perform on the 8900 wu's?
I've not run it on one.
Thought I better put some pics up:
The box, its a biggie!
Open her up.. and another box! Sheesh its like pass the parcel around here
And what do you get in the accessories box for your mega-bucks?
LOL!
Next Layer.. the all important PINK FOAM!
But whats that peeking out from underneath? Yes PINK BUBBLE WRAP!
Ooooh.. ahhh...
Nekkid mobo smexiness! But wait, some rotter has snipped a corner off!
Slam in the CPU's

Just ran one for you, now mines flashed with a Ghz bios, but when I switched it over I forgot I had it on LiteCoin settings (905/1580) so it was pushing just over 90K PPD. When I put it onto the right settings it jumped up to 102K
I have two of them but yes maybe closer to 210K
Not sure not had a 680 since the new WU's came out. Think the 7970's stabilise around 110K looking at what others have got.
780 should certainly get you close to Titan performance, think within 10% or so. Its only Double Precision they nerfed on the 780 which Folding doesn't use.

LOL I remember the days when I'd spend a lot more for 20K.. ah how times have changed
Actually the 7970's are for mining in my desperate pathetic attempt to fend off the electricity bill that is going to fall out of the sky and crush my like a bug.
