Looking good.... No.1 spot in producers chart will soon be ours

Plus, on the upside, i got my loan today to pay for my wedding next year... But there's a grand going spare that the other half has let me loose with

Will be ordering 2x new Q6600's on monday with 2 of these :-

Clicky

To replace my fried x2 3800, and retire my xp2200+ (86ppd!)

Does anybody know if the DFI board is any good ? Cracking price and have read some good reports on the net about it.

What would you recommend as a good board for running the quads in ? Will be wanting them clocked to iro 2.8ish with AC Freezers.

Needs to be a sensible price as will just be crunchers.

I keep getting grief off the other half about the amount of time/money i spend "tinkering" in the spare room with my pc's... People also tend to think im a bit barking for spending money on pc's just for folding, but hey, its my hobby

They way i see it, i could be down the pub getting lashed every night, spending £100+ over the weekend on beer and kebabs. But i don't, instead i spend a few hundred quid every few months upgrading bits and bobs.

+ its more comfy to sit in my own living room (being able to smoke) and get lashed there instead lol

bit off-topic... im rambling again..

lol @ MGP - No, im not BigStan heard good things about him thou

Heat is a big issue, was in homebase today looking at Air Conditioners.. They have a suitable one for £80, but they cost a bomb to run ~1.6Kw

To be honest, the GPU folding rig chucks out the most heat by a long shot. Its a presshot P4 3.2 HT running an x1950pro + 1 console client with a 420w PSU. It creates as much heat as the Quad and the E6600 to together

I keep meaning to get one of those Wattage measuring plug sockets you can get from ******s, as i dread to think how much power the whole lot draws

As for the leccy bill.... over the summer its costing me iro £110 per month with Scottish power. As for the winter, with my flat being all-electric, i don't like to think about it! lol


**** EDIT ****

Why won't it let me type the 'M' word ? you know, the place thats like RS...

Im fairly sure it's an air con unit, not an Air Cooler... It did seem cheap to me tbh, the next one up was £180... I'll pop back in and check when i get the time
