I finally am in the top 1000 for team 37726! In fact... make that top 900

I installed windows XP on a spare HDD, and ran 4 GPU clients and the SMP client, 18000 to 22000 PPD!. That will definitely leave a mark on the next electricity bill , and on the other side, that makes me happy to know that my rig is stable enough to fold at full power for 40h at least. Over 600W of folding power to grant me 30000 points, skyrocketing me to 893rd position.

I need to calm down...

Well, few more days went through since I began folding. Leaving my rig on 24h a day this weekend really helped. I'm already on top 1500 with well over 11K points

I'm really thinking if I should get a dedicated rig to fold. Few calculations threw me into a 200~220W rig to fold 24/7, bringing me 5KWh, and little more than 20€ per month... But then again, I'd throw the VCR on the living room the hell out and introduce my mom to the digital recording era with a HTPC

...

Here I am again, for another reason though...

So I joined the fold. I've seen a few fellow members from OCN joining for special reasons, their family, their friends. That's something I look up for, and I'm very impressed with their decisions. Myself, I have none of those reasons, luckily my family doesn't have any of those problems, and I really hope no one ever has, but I'm working to find a cure, for anyone that suffers from a terrible fate.

Although I simply cannot...
