Nice stuff.

On another note, I'm still waiting for my sister to ship out the GTX 460 from the last contest so I can get it going. She said she'll do it this weekend so my fingers are crossed.

What does 'active' mean? Is there a minimum points or WU?

You just have to actively be folding for the month of november to be in and have at least 5 posts on the forums during november as well.

I was happy to read that there's no need to get to a particular place, but then I noticed the "US shipping address" part. Actually I could have this shipped to a US address, but I figure it's not worth the hassle, especially since I don't really need a new MB right now.

Well if you would want to pay shipping and customs you could win. Problem is I buy the boards here in the USA and can not afford to send them out of the country.

once you compleate a work unit, and return it to Stanford, it will update. just make sure that you have the right team #, or it will show up somewhere else.

That's fair enough. I won't take advantage of it this time, but it's worth knowing that if there's a prize I really want I can get it for the price of shipping and customers. Might be worth it for some prizes.

Kinda obvious, but you can count me out for this contest. Card died at the beginning of the month and now Frys is taking 2 weeks before I get the 460 that I ordered last week. The 9500 is too much of a waste of energy running 24/7 for folding. Best of luck to everyone else.

Seems alot of us ran into some probs. Electric bill came in and naturally the owner of the house thought it was me because of folding *rolleyes* what an idiot. *le sigh*

Last Day. Some on the Folding Team have not made the 5 post requirements so far this month on the forums.


Winner will be picked and announced tonight. While my GTX480 is cooling off so I can move it to another slot to add my GTX580 to my Folding rig.

Is this a time machine thing or something like the mailbox where you post from 2010 and we answer from a year later?
