that's awesome, legoman, i've pulled one of those too, i was driving home from my campus for my summer course and this lady was zoning out, so me and my friend just screamed and she jumped so high she hit the roof of the car

Thanks, guys. The new basement is definitely nice, though it's not photo worthy yet. My desk is a mess, but I will hopefully get to that this weekend as I'm hoping to finally have time to rework my computers. I finally settled on a home theater setup, so I'll need to swap that stuff around as well (speakers should be here today; I have a tracking number but not an ETA on the receiver). Once that stuff is done, I should be in pretty good shape.

Yeah, there's been no significant downtime in my folding at all. Even when we moved, I think I was only down for 24-48 hours. I'm very curious to see how my i7 will produce, especially since my current primary folding rig has not been CPU folding at all since I last revived the ailing RAID array. I should be solidly in the low 20k range per day when all is said and done.

As soon as I saw that photo, I knew it would eventually be a replacement avatar. The picture is fairly old, at least in terms of the little one's age. Some neighbors were shooting off fireworks, which freaked out the pup. Of all places to hide, she decided to go behind the little play center. The baby had great fun with that, and there are a lot of great photos that came out of that time.

I too join the chorus of WBs, Taeric!

Congrats for the baby bro!

Welcome back, great to see you again Taeric

most pc gamers started as console gamers A gamer is a gamer no matter if its pc,console or some hand held
device

I noticed from your stats that you haver been folding on despite being away from the forums. Good show.

Good luck!

kewl

Hi old friend
We've done our best to to uphold all the fine work you've done here
Congrats on all the new changes that you've been through. The best to you and yours always!
Folding may bring even more changes with the new GPU3 coming down the road. They are finally going to address the poor ATI support. So who knows for sure what GPU will fold best.
I envy you having a basement... I want one too
I saw the new avatar and knew on the spot, "He has returned"
Take good care of the family, and when you do find the time to lend a hand to your old OCN family, we'll be here

Awesome avatar of the two best buddies there

I want pics of this super tech basement ASAP

Congratulations bro, I'm glad you popped in to give us an update. You're really missed by I'd say everyone, but it is understanding your situation. I hope you can make time again to be on here more often, until then I wish you the best and your family too.

I agree with Karasu. A gamer is a gamer. You can classify them into different categories such as hardcore gamer or casual gamer or what, but if you play video games, you are a gamer.

To simplify it and cut through all the bullcrap, gaming is gaming. Whether it is on a console or a PC, it is still gaming in my eyes. I see no need to differentiate and segregate "true" gamers from "fake" gamers. They are all the same to me.

Too lazy at the time being. Maybe after I get my 1TB hard drive.

Cable Management?

Haha, very amused by your Bioshock references. Great game.

Welcome to OCN .

Lol! Sucks about the girl dude, but I totally understand how you must have felt.

As for the driving bit, you reminded me of a pretty cool japanese song. Here's the music video-- the song's really catchy:

L'arc~en~Ciel - Driver's High lyrics (Eng translation)

oh and I got Collatz Conjecture to work with my card. All that I actually needed was the new development BOINC client.

As for Folding@Home, The 58xx and 57xx series are not currently supported and apparently may not be supported by GPU2. They are more focused on the GPU3 client at the moment.

Never played Counter Strike Source, but 200 would seem low at 1024x768 because i get 150fps on UT3 1280x800 max setting DX10
