So, I used to fold a year or so back but somehow managed to forget about it until now :(

I've not kept up on current folding rigs so I might be looking to put together maybe a single machine or a small farm that would be capable of 50k ppd (give or take a few!) - what would you recommend would be the best setup (trying to keep cost to a minimum of course :))

I have an air conditioned lab at work where I can host the pc/farm so keeping it cool/powered should not be a problem.

I've set up multiple GPUs before under XP so i'm not afraid to get my hands dirty in that respect but I must admit to have lost touch with GPU/motherboard combos for best PPD.

Of course, i'll be contributing to OcUKs stats once built :D

Cheers folks.
 
Nah, just the bare essentials.

I've got spare cases/keyboards/mice/old hard drives coming out every cupboard in the house! I'd be looking to use onboard graphics if the mobo has it as well for the time being.

Would slapping in a nvidea card be suitable (I think I have a GTX260 somewhere) for this setup for extra ppd (maybe ~6k?) or would it be wasted as the CPU if fully loaded with its own work?

Cheers for the advice.

Edit: Nice daily avg there by the way Biffa - crikes what are you running? :D
