ahh, I knew I had forgotten something - I need to fit the woofers as well as the tweeters!!!!!
Right, since everyone's board, here's some entertainment:
Now, where can I put a third rad'????????
If a PC were regarded as a thing of beauty you would be deported
Mr ToxicTbag, why not run Rosetta, there are a few others doing Seti, Einstein, Milkyway and Rosetta.
Mr Area51, thats not borg tech, its out of Dr Who , some relation to K9
...ooooh, you wound me - so cruel!!!!!
Area 51, you clearly need one of these as a case mod.
...you know, if I could get one at the UK equivalent price, and it wasn't a foot in diameter, and I could run it off Molex - that wouldn't be a bad idea!!!!!!!
Ah thought it was just never seen one before
...and lets face it, you're unlikely to ever see one again - you should be honored

This is how you use the multi quote feature
lhc@home - set it up and leave it running - don't worry about resource share as work for it is rare at the moment, just leave it running in the background..
Also try rosetta - that is a project that gives low credit per wu, but runs in boinc and does a similar job to folding..
Do ya know, you couldnt be more right, christ progress is hard won on that project.
Its seti's fault I'm buzzing you on Einstein, the only question that remains is will Berkeley save your bacon ?
fingers crossed that they will
As soon as Borkeley sort their problems out and there's a stats update I'll do the news for the past week. It didn't seem worthwhile posting anything before that as the stats haven't updated for the past three days or so.
And Area 51... that rig looks like it's been taken out of some Mothership or other. Are you hiding something from us?

....its getting that heavy I could never have lifted it from such a place even if I worked out for 6 months!!! Might have to strengthen the desk soon!
Its been called various things so far by some very unkind people who do not appreciate beauty when they see it.......
Thats a fair point, there have been some comments that have been over the top.
It's a strange looking beast, very.... ahem 'industrial' looking...
At the end of the day, as long as it crunches enough ppd, who cares, just don't turn up at any LAN parties with it

I take it all in the spirit I suspect the comments were made (I always said it would look industrial); and I like the barking mad look (kind of like the mad inventor in the shed). I posted the picture as I knew it would generate some amusement
At the end of the day, you just can't shove this amount of hardware inside this case - and sticking the rads on a desktop is asking for trouble. I know some people attach them to walls, but I can see trouble in that direction
! Plus, keeping the rads and reservoirs outside the case means they don't add to the case heat, or absorb heat from the case - and the loops themselves are as short as I can practically make them and have very little vertical displacement.RAC-wise, this should top 50k when its up to speed with the third GPU, and dropping a 4th 285 in and pairing the cards together on each loop would probably put it at about 65k - but that last phase won't be for some months yet as I don't have the funds for a fourth card and/or 2 more water blocks - yet, but I will keep working on it and it will have its fiull complememnt of GPUs eventually.
I hope so, it was it bit of a shock/surprise thats all, as has been said already its what it does that matters
Afternoon peeps
Before i start having a try out of rosetta or lhc, is there anything i need to be aware of ? Or are they simple set and forget projects anything a newbie might need to know i would appreciate.
Most kind chaps and ta in advance
