Show off your WCG farm

My main... Crunches at 50% when I'm downloading, etc. 80% when I'm not.

My GF's laptop, have it crunching at 60% when she's not using it. (Intel Dual core 1.73 Ghz)

And my soon to be completed dedicated cruncher. Just got the hard drive on Friday.

Intel single core @ 2.2Ghz :shadedshu

looks good bro, its better than nothing it will give points thats all that matters

 

[p_o_s_pc]

got the Pentium D back up now. Bad news is it has a cap that is about to blow looks like the cheap Intel boards can't take the stress of running 100% 24/7 so its about time to start saving up to replace it with a i7 or i3/i5 soon

 

[(FIH) The Don]

that sucks, or maybe not haha, then you have a excuse to get new hardware

hope i can get a quad up and running in may

i don't have a job so its kinda hard to get new parts but for not having a job i would say i did damn good with what money i do have by that i mean i got a water cooled i7 sitting beside me and the gf walks around with diamonds on so i must be doing something right.

 

[(FIH) The Don]

haha i guess so

dont have a job either, but i still get along, trading some, hustlin' and what not to get my hardware pr0n

0.o

I'm jealous. What the heck do you guys do to make a buck then?

I've been wanting to make my next build a I7 but am having issues getting the money together. Damn my freelance work. I hate slow months.

 

[p_o_s_pc]

I make a buck how ever i can.

here is the pentium D. If you look at the cap on the lower right side of the ram (the big cap) you can see its about to vent.... This rig is a result of random parts laying around. (see specs to the left) the only thing that changed is the PSU i am using the modX in the i7 and the GXS in the Pentium D

well i build a couple of rigs each month for people i know, and other people who contacts me through danish hardware forums. that gives me around 400$ a month +-
then i'm on wellfare thing which gives me 1500$ a month, its not much but i make it through still.

next month i'll be starting on a new education so i have something to do,

lets just say i am spoiled mostly and i have some jobs that i do when i'm tight on cash (new GF would kill me if i did some of the things again so its not worth it)

 

[(FIH) The Don]

its good in some ways to be spoiled as long as you know how to take care of your self then i dont have a problem with such things

I'm not one of those people that are completely dependent on there parents or others i can take care of myself when i have to.Also its not like i don't want to work because i do i just can't find any jobs around here. i need a job because i am about $5k short on getting my project car and i want to build some more crunchers

 

[hat]

I am supposed to go to my aunt's tomorrow and set up a network and the old computer for her daughters. Also, I will be drilling holes in her counter so the wires for the pc won't be doing down in front of the router, but rather through the hole I made. I wonder if I'll be paid?

I am hopeful that one day I may be able to upgrade my server (thoroughbred) and put WCG on it, without destroying my wallet.

Ah, here we go. I would only need a cpu/mobo/processor to make a complete upgrade to that pc, and here it all is. No cpu cooler though...

If I get my laptop sold, I'll upgrade Thoroughbred. I reckon that setup in the above combo would be worth at least 600 points per day, considering that it would still be used as a Quake server, and it runs my phone as well.

Waiting for new ASUS MB and water cooling parts. Until then (Monday) this is my first on-the-box set-up:

Haven't had to use IDE cables for about 2 years; only hard drive I had left though
What a mess~

Plus using this stupid stock cooler sucks balls:

 

[(FIH) The Don]

you dont like the ud4p board?

haha yeah stock is a sissy cooler, even a 15$ air cooler does a better job

Nope. Getting rid of it

 

[(FIH) The Don]

CyberDruid has the perfect solution for intel stock heatsinks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgKIr2WNPRo

 

[Mussels]

lol, his heatsink finding skills are weak!

 

[HammerON]

Replaced the Gigabyte X58 UD4P with the ASUS P6T:

Added Apogee and NB cooling for Gigabyte X58 Extreme:

I gotta get some updated pics but I don't have a camera at the moment. My buddy has recovered his SLR from me and I might not be getting it back anytime soon as he is using it. So I'll see what I can do.
