Heyy guys. I have seen a lot of people building f@h rigs, and I think it has had an affect one me. I already have a hard drive, case, OS, and 9600GT. Here is what I have come up with(Help from gibsonnova74):


Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813130172

CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103300

GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130420

GPU2: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814127392

PSU: http://cmstore.coolermaster-usa.com/...roducts_id=102

RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820134797

Hopefully this rig will produce OVER 9000 ppd

Feel free to give suggestions! Thanks! (Disregard all post before #18).

Wrong GPU

If you're spending $100 per GPU then it needs to rhyme with "GT" and start with 9800 or 8800

I know that I had selected a 9600GT. I can't find a 8800GS or 9600GSO anywhere for a lower price. So I went for the cheapest.

hmm.. you can try the FS forums here. not sure if nitteo is still selling his cards or you can try waiting out for the xfx GSO on the egg.

found some on TD.

Thanks for the responses!

Here is what I am thinking of doing...
2x PCIe Slot Motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813157139

9800GTX http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130403

But I can't use the 9600GT that I already have because it will slow down the folding on the 9800GTX!

I would look at the GTX+ instead.
More PPD for not much more cost.

You can get 2 9800 GTX+ superclocked for $310 shipped and a $30 MIR ($280 total), or 2 of the above cards you linked to for $272 shipped.
Or if your getting just 1, the GTX+ is $125 AR shipped, or the GTX for $137 shipped (and only have a 90 day warranty on it)

Nice! I didn't notice the GTX+ for that price, thanks!

I heard something about having a higher card, like a 9800GTX+, and 9600GT on the same motherboard would cut the ppd of the 9800GTX+. Is this true? If it is, how much of a cut in ppd should I expect?

or you could get the 2 8800GS that are in the for sale thread for $66 each. Thats the absolute best buy you're going to get for folding cards

I have been eye'ing out that thread for the past week. Yet, the person that is helping me build this really doesn't think that this is a good idea. He is afraid that the cards are going the die after 3 months, and there is no warranty. As long as they have good cooling, they really shouldn't. If I bought those 2, I would put out the most ppd.
9600GT= 3700
8800GS= 4250 66USD
8800GS= 4250 66USD
Total =12200 132USD

EDIT: NO!! There is only one 8800GS left in Nitteo's FS thread!!
