  1. I started downloading it yesterday, and then I stopped not really knowing what it was. I didn't have time to read, but I will tonight before bed. I still play UT99 from time to time since the servers are still active.
  2. GTX 960's are shredding all of the competition. Maybe you could snag one of those for cheap since they don't mine a profit. I have mine on a mcw-82 with a gtx 460 plate, and it bolted right up to the 960. I think you use those blocks, right?
  3. I'm eating lunch. I can teleport. Let me give you my coordinates.
  4. I just went onto the calendar and added an event for you to fold your m40 again in ETF.
  5. I'm going to start writing the event kick-off posts etc. for July over the weekend.
  6. Op says 9pm edt today. Timer says 9pm edt tomorrow. Stats probably will say delayed 4 hours. @axipher
  7. USPS says they will arrive Friday. I was able to add my pics from Spotswood into the OP.
  8. Looks very likely. It's quite a fake run! I've only been on the winning TC Team 1x lol when I was with Explosm. I'm surprised everyone hasn't raided eBay for GTX 960's yet.
  9. Since we're still in the stats dev stage, 1st official month will be July.
  10. I currently have a 12k btu one somewhat like that. They work fairly well, but the real solution is to isolate the heat and exhaust it outside somehow. I just can't bring myself to cutting holes in my walls in here even though it's just a garage office. My dishwasher stopped working almost right after I placed the order for this unit. That will be my next purchase most likely.
  11. Yep! Discuss whatever you want here that complies with TOS. It's a mini folder's lounge, but it's also our prestigious 24/7 event folders. General chit chat related to the event.
  12. Changes have been applied to the OP. Basically, I carried over a lot of previous event rules. If you never participated, be sure to read up.
  13. I went ahead and defied the branding gods and bypassed some way better and more costly units to replace a $400 12k BTU floor unit that just won't keep up with all of the office activities. It's only a 12 ft x 16 ft room, but maybe it can make it a meat locker ? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UV3LH4Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  14. Somebody poisoned the water hole. Legit though, HWBot should be on there shouldn't it?
  15. Yeah, I was going to say they should sag without the top panel on. At least they all sag evenly to get rid of any OCD thoughts lol.
  16. I have responded loudly bold above.
  17. Roger that, but I do need some additional cooling. Looking at a few split ac options. Yeah, he's a great fellow, and it's been a long time he's been at this now. It's so awesome to see him get some really cool things finished over the years. It's actually my first thing of any kind from him, But every person who I've ever talked to who won a tech bench really liked them.
  18. Hey guys, I thought I'd go ahead and start a new thread to keep you updated on my progress with my folding/mining operation. My wood bench was only temporary until I was able to get a custom bench. I purchased 2 custom benches from@Spotswood to sit beside my PC's, and I'm utilizing 2 x16 ribbons + x1 to x16 risers to hopefully fill out each bench over time so I can beat @Avacadoand @Bastiaan_NLin our foldathons . Rick customized the project and configured it to adapt to the ribbons/risers combination. He was able to build custom brackets to hold the ribbons as they're not typical mining bench protocol, but important for folding@home, or any gaming I'd like to do from the bench GPU's. It's these types of customizations that led me to Spotswood because he has fabrication he can do, and everything can be custom. For years, he's given our folders free tech benches in our folding events over on OCN, and may do the same here for us soon, so please consider him before you buy a pre-fab you have to jerry-rig to comply, or wood. Also, look at his finished work. He built actual drum cases that are out of this world! Here are the renderings of the benches he sent to me. I believe this is a common practice on custom benches from him. The plan is to have 1 bench populated with 2x 1080ti's (ribbons so I can SLI for some titles too) and 2x 1070's (risers) + the independent cooling loop. I will be moving the 3070 to the Lanboy. The 2nd bench will sit for a bit as I work to obtain more GPU's to fill it. Some things I did consider were asking him to add attachments for my custom cooling, but I nixed that because I feel like my cooling needs will grow as I go, and there's not a real need to attach these to the bench. I also considered asking him to enclose the bench like a case, and cut a hole in the wall of my garage office to exhaust the heat, but I'm just going to get a split ac unit because I like the idea of not running my heater in the Fall/Winter, nor dealing with that big hole. Most of my months are cooler months in Ohio, and opening the door is enough to keep it cooled. So, when I receive the benches in the mail, I'll update the OP with my progress, parts used, etc. Should be a ton of fun. Here are some pics from the building of the bench on Spotswoods end of things. Pretty cool!
