[Scott]

[borschtBomber[SS]]

Thats awesome though, nice to see more vendors around. I've always liked NZXT's case design. :)

[srpeters18]

Looks to be a great case. It looks a lot like an Antec 900...

[bobletman]

Wow that case looks amazin, Im definately in for this. :keepfolding:

[slugbug]

Cool looking case. Looking forward to the review....Thanks so much Scott for finding these things for the prizes.

[zachig]

What a GREAT prize!!!

Too bad I can't fold too much lately...Mainly because my main rig at home is occuiped almost all day long by my wife (and she's complaining when the folding console in ON...:frown:) and since I just started a new job recently, I still don't feel comfortable with installing the folding console on the desktop at work. And...I also returned the Laptop I had from my previous workplace. :frown:

So currently, the only rig I can fold on, is my PC at home. Hopefully I'll manage to fold 15 WUs this month and be eligible for the contest.

Anyway, GOOD LUCK everyone and :keepfolding:

[CoolZone]

Nice contest!I guess I'll have to go to a friend and ask him to fold for me this time!

[Enigmachine]

Canado... Is that the country neighboring the US of A? It does sound like a spanish word! :D

I've got two cores folding already... I could probably get folding on up to 13 cores, but I doubt my Asus EEE will make a very good folding machine :)

On the other hand I've been very impressed by the folding ability of my 8400E cpu... And I have a spare one of those, if I had a case I could fold on it too! :)

It was tax day 2 days ago in Canado... So I did some accounting, it cost me about 1000 $ of electricity last year. :) I guess I can afford to fold in bursts. :)

Do those little WU's count as WU's in this contest? Like the little 15 point ones?

[slugbug]

One big 2144 point SMP work unit equals 142 of those.

[Sadasius]

Yup they count too! As your girlfriend told you..."Don't worry it's not the size that matters..."

[=CDU=Above]

I'll turn it on but I just don't think my P4 will do it.
Worth a try though.

[peti1212]

Please count me in for the folding contest as well. This looks like fun! :)

[Andrew1990]

ooo, thats a perty case. I have a little trick up my sleeve as well and it doesnt involve any new hardware......

[peti1212]

Alright it looks like I am set for the contest, but I will keep folding! :)

[coxmaster]

Alright it looks like I am set for the contest, but I will keep folding! :)

Yeh, im about 1/2 way to the 15 mark already also. Still gonna keep folding though.. thats what we need is more people to :keepfolding:

[darkorb]

Im gonna try, but my room gets absuredly warm whenever i fold, and even my computer being on.

Thankfully, for me, celeron Ls dont produce much heat nor use much energy. It is 35w at load stock but if I overclock it to around 2.8GHz, I am guessing it will use around 60w of energy.

I can also probably even use a passive heatsink if I really needed to.

[=CDU=Above]

Got one done. Yooohooo. I'm off and runnin' like a turd of hurdles.

[slugbug]

My 15 are done :keepfolding:

[bobletman]

My 15 are done :keepfolding:

same here. :keepfolding:

[bromro]

In for this one but I don't know if ill be able to finish 15 by the end of the month

At least you have that X2. Right now I am attempting to run F@H on a P4 1.5GHz Willamette. I figured it out an 1% will take me 8 minutes on project 4411. That is 13 hours per WU which will buy me some time till I get my Celeron L 420.

I am just wondering how much energy these old P4s took to run?

[Xantor]

Count me in.
Folding under Xantor as usual :)

[MtDew]

Put my name in the hat. My folding name is MtDew

:keepfolding:

1 AMD 64 X2 5000+ Black Edition
1 AMD 64 X2 4200+
and 1 AMD 64 3000
all folding and more computers to be added soon!

[=CDU=Above]

I can't believe mine is up to 11 already. There must have been a few small one thrown my way.
We'll see if I finish the 15. I didn't have hope of doing it before but now I see that it might be possible.

[Goliath182]

I am just wondering how much energy these old P4s took to run?

Depends on the core. 130nm>90nm>65nm in order of energy use. Clock speed also plays a factor.

[Dragon_CPU]

Ok nice prize and I'm in just about got the 15 in one day...lol

[Dragon_CPU]

Oh yeah folding under Dragon_CPU sorry bout the double post just forgot to add that info....

[peti1212]

Oh, sorry to be off topic but why isn't my username in the bjorn3d folding team? It does not say it under my username.

[Dragon_CPU]

My 15 are done and in 24 hrs. well still folding got a couple of 5000000 step wu's going now get them points up too. 3 clients and 1 gpu client running 24/7 on my rig in SIG.

[Goliath182]

I have a question.

Im folding under Tony, should i be folding under Goliath182?

[slugbug]

Ideally you should use your forum user name. It makes it easier for Scott.

[MtDew]

I hit 15 units today. I still have one processor that has not reported. I believe it is my AMD62 5000+ Black Edition. I checked it this morning and it had two work units ready to upload.

:keepfolding:

Any easy way to change it?

[slugbug]

Any easy way to change it?

From the folding FAQ: First you must stop the service using the instructions from the question below. Next go to the "Start" menu, and open "Run". Browse to the FAH client you wish to configure, and then once it is listed in the "Open" box, add a " -config" after it and press enter. When you are done, you can close the window and start the service.

The very first WU i did seems to have not counted. When the WU finished f@h client had crashed. Completed 4000000 out of 4000000 steps, kind of a bummer no points for it.

If you remember the project number, you could try making a post in the official F@H forums and explain what happened. I've seen people get credit for work units after doing that. It's worth a shot.

[Arctic88]

Ok thanx i will try that.

[=CDU=Above]

I'm at 13. Need to feed the squirrels.

[PP Mguire]

I still have one processor that has not reported. I believe it is my AMD62 5000+ Black Edition.Maybe cause its missing 2 bits ;)

[MtDew]

Maybe cause its missing 2 bits ;)

LOL, I did not catch that.

:keepfolding:

[tyle6]

Damn, thats one sweet case. Just checked it out on the NZXT website and this looks awesome! takes alot of key elements from some leading designs and combines them into one awesome package!!!

[=CDU=Above]

TADA!!!
15 WUs and it's not even the end of the month yet.
I didn't think the little guy could do it.

[Xantor]

I'm at 18 I believe. I'll fold all the way to 25 just in case... :)

[ahsalloum]

Just started folding. :)

[ahsalloum]

I don't think I will make it for the contest, but I guess I'll :keepfolding:

[tomato]

I should be able to qualify for this contest this month ;) Good luck to everyone who qualifies :)

[Dragon_CPU]

I've been messing with getting my new crossfire system together so havent been folding lately but since i already put out 44 wu's this month I'll be ok till I finish building it then I'll run some GPU clients.

[tyle6]

Ive been doing a bunch of upgrading latly and im just gettin everything back on-line and folding. Not sure if im gonnha make the cut... its gonna be close!! lol
