Oops, I've been a naughty boy!

She who must be obeyed said she wanted me to put together a media box, so I've just ordered the bits.

Is a Q6600 and some nice RAM over the top for a TV feeder

Actually, I'll probably swap the quad with the duo under my desk, as I might not be able to keep the media box on 24/7 :eek:

Should wind my SETI throughput up a little, when Borkley get their act together!

The Lone SETI Cruncher - well that's what it seems like here, sometimes

A quad core media centre. Nice.

You know in your heart that that baby really wants to fold

Stomp on, anyway. That would give anyone a nice boost.

Bah.. I'm still crunching seti somewhere, avg is 124.3

Some people might be wondering why I decided to switch to FAH.. I've not been very forthcoming about it

Well its a number of reasons really.

1. The leaving of one of our teams top crunchers and the resultant drop in output appealed to my sense of cameraderie to help out with the numbers, not that I'm doing a huge amount with my measly boxen but thought I could help at least.

2. The release of the WinSMP client which is what I am using on a couple of my boxen, which makes it more worthwhile from a competitive perspective for me.

3. The reduction in my farm meant that the hardware I have now is more suitable to FAH than to S@H IMHO.

4. A technical challenge, change is as good as a holiday etc etc etc.

So its not forever, I'm going to see how far I can get on my existing hardware and I'm keeping an eye on my S@H competition here
so hopefully by the time someone starts to get too close I will probably switch back.

Update - all my new bits have arrived

Problem - I forgot to order some new heatsink compound :eek:

Ah well, we know what I'm doing in my lunch hour tomorrow, don't we children
