Admin, since you're probably going to be ordering the hardware (?) it's probably a good idea for you to find a good Canadian site to get this stuff from, or wherever you're most comfortable buying from? The only sites I've bought stuff from is Newegg.com which I like but it will probably be easier buying everything from a single Canadian site if possible to ease shipping costs, even if it means getting a different case, etc.

I say go ahead and buy a couple of PS3s from wherever you can get them cheapest. As for the PC (assuming we're still good doing one Q6600), grab a G0 Q6600 and some Ballistix. As for the misc stuff like hard drive, check out my post (http://www.overclock.net/community-f...ml#post3504162) and see what you can come up with similar to this?

Unforunately I've been MIA lately and haven't had time to really give this much thought. I've been travelling and working 80 hour weeks with alot going on so I'd be happy if you guys finish working this out so we can get it going

if you need a good canadian site i am sure you already know of directcanada, but they are who i order from, same warehouse as ncix, but cheaper

i can help pay for this folding Project, just who ever is in charge please Pm me.

I say q6600 with a Blood Iron

That sounds good to me.

Heck I even have a brand new EVGA 8600GT still shrink wrapped that I don't need for anything that I can send you also.

Also I forgot to mention the OS... Linux is definately the way to go but I don't know anything about Linux so that is all you guys

[Kilzon]

Anyone else still interested in doing this? lol

I think Admin ran off to the bahamas and is sitting on the beach right now with a few fruity drinks

Sorry guys :/

For the delay, I will throw another $300 into the pot. I am ready to order the gear now though. With the additional $300 - please let me know what we will do.

I will check back here in the next 24 hours to pickup the final product list and I will place the order right away.

Thanks

I know i'm a new member.. but i was curious as to whats going on. I understand what folding is.. and from what i gather.. you guys are trying to put together more comps for folding? I just found out about it.. so i'll be folding for this community... you'll see when i get on that board ^.^

Gives me a reason to gather all the old computer components i have laying around as well.. to set up a shop
