How about one with a slide out mobo tray?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112222&ignorebbr=1

I have had a similar idea where I attach a sort of sideways rolling motherboard tray to my desk. Similar to how a keyboard platform connects to a desk.

Well my number are definitely going to increase in the next week or so. Currently, I've only been crunching with my i7 2600k and i7 860 rigs. I did buy the AMD Phenom II 1045 rig Norton had for sale, but I still haven't gotten it set up yet (laziness). I also won the 3930k/X79 mobo combo in the Feb challenge. mjkmike was also nice enough to include 16 GB of RAM, a Corsair 850 PSU and three (count them, 1,2,3) HD 7770 cards for folding. All that is scheduled to arrive next Tuesday. I also bought a Silverstone FT04 case and GamerStorm Assassin heat sink (looks just like a NH D14) from sneekypeet. So after next week, this is what I will have crunching/folding-

Quite an impressive crunching/folding farm!!!

 

[BarbaricSoul]

just trying to match how impressive this team is

Is there a Folding challenge on, or are we just helping out for the sake of helping out?

Edit: Two HD 6900 series fired up.

 

[librin.so.1]

Meanwhile, reached Sapphire for average runtime for all projects (see my sig)

do note that the average counts all the projects. Including ones where I have 0 hours of runtime and ones for which wasn't even in WCG yet when they finished.

The folding Team usually participates in the annual Chimp Challenge (date hasn't been set yet AFAIK) and we try to assist with that but hopping over there and giving them some help is welcome at any time.

My 7970 is going back over there soon but I want to move it into another build first.

 

[librin.so.1]

oh boy... currently, there's quite some chance for my little crunching operation in my university getting permanently sacked.
Will get to know more in the coming days.

A sad day for WCG. Did they finally look at the power bill?

 

[librin.so.1]

It's complicated. But I'll get back at Ya when I get more info.
ALSO, I might have to do a friggin' PP slide presentation on what I am doing with those computers, i.e. presentation on what crunching is all about. To persuade them to allow me to keep it running. As they implied I would have to.
I HATE DOING SLIDES *flips table*

I think James is right

Show them the WCG subforum of TPU and it'll all make sense.

Sorry for the double post....

Looks like rig maintenance has been moved to tonight, though it means that my rig will be down through Wednesday. My new tubing should be here Wednesday, and since I won't have much time at all tomorrow night to get things going for the transition, it's going to have to be tonight.

This means that I'll be dropping way low After I get my main rig done, I'll be moving the i3 into this Haf 932 case, and i'll finally be able to part with my old Blackhawk case. Maybe I'll throw it in the closet just in case

But I'm excited to do it, as I've been putting it off since December It's amazing how things just keep popping up

Pics when you're all done!

Sure will! And you'll be able to see your 'old girl' in her new home

Already powered down, but i3 will be rockin' what it can do for now.



Little tidbit: I put on the original Gojira movie to keep me going

 

[BarbaricSoul]

Just got the 1045t system up and running. So as of now, everything in my system specs is now crunching.


Hey Norton, what temps were you getting on this computer. According the hardware monitor, at full load after 15 minutes, it's only hitting 33-34'c. Seems like it's begging for a OC (I need to read up on OC'ing a AMD, haven't done it since my X2 5200 cpu).

I ran one of the 1045T's at 3.1 and the other at stock and only got a 10-15% boost in ppd so I opted for the cool running/low power goodness of that system running 6 cores at stock

Sometimes that is the better way to go. I love my 2500k. Uses 80w at max overclock according to hwinfo which looks about right from the power meter.

@manofthem, you win! You got there first.

Well I started tonight but I won't be done for a few days so..... you never know who will finish fist

got the q6600 back up and running just need an ethernet cord to get it crunching, although i cant really afford a $20 cord atm cause i spent money on the Ostrog case and a NZXT Respire 120 HSF

i HAD a wireless card but apparently the TP Link WN722N doesnt play nice with Ubuntu

How long of a cable do you need?

My WN727N stick works fine with Xubuntu.

 

[AlienIsGOD]

mine doesn't cut the mustard in any way

from this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsTP-Link#USB

the rig in the Ostrog case, didnt do any cable management just yet
