What are you crunching with?

[Ion] · Feb 4, 2013

CrAsHnBuRnXp said:
How do you turn in points?

All you need to do is let World Community Grid run on your computer, it computes data and returns work units, and then they're validated by the WCG system and you get points

Prize list updated!

Norton · Feb 4, 2013

Please update the prize list with the following cruncher hardware:

- Radeon 7770
- 2x2GB DDR3 memory kit
- 500w PSU

If I can swing anything else I'll let you know

*note- I would like to request that any winners of hardware prizes commit to crunching for the Team for at least 3 months.
