Community Folding Project **Updated with Pics** (rig #1)

[OCTDBADBRO]

I will start donating once i get my 2 dedicated folding rigs (4 x 9800GTs each), my main rig (atleast 2 cards for folding aswell) and one for my parents finished

Assuming i have anything left after electricity lol

While looking to see if there was a better deal on the PSU, I came across Antec EA650 for $50 (1/2 price!!!) with free shipping. It has a 6 and a 6+2 pin PCIe along with 6 SATA connectors, with lots of Amps - 3x 12V rails (22A, 22A, 25A). Sale ends 11/26... What happens on 11/28, hmmm?

btw, I fixed my CPU link above...

Yeah, I don't quite know just yet. That would be $100 more for the cards than last time. On the other hand, we are saving $50 on the PSU. I heard back from EVGA yesterday, they said they would deffinately email me when they get more cards. I'm kinda torn right now. I know we want to get this second rig running, but I want to get it as cheap as possible.

Two words, Gibson: BLACK FRIDAY

If that doesn't float your boat, then try another two words: 'Net Monday!

NewEgg says they'll have deals both days.

Thanks wamubu, if you see any deals on 8800 series or higher, let me know. I'm looking to spend around $50 each, and we need 4 cards.

question Gib. Did you not have to put dummy plugs on those cards?

No, dummy plugs aren't necessary if you have a second monitor you can use for setup. Once the cards are folding, you can unplug the monitor and they just keep folding. If they error, you will have to hook the monitor back up to start the folding again, but I very rarely have to do that.

this is an awesome idea I will probably donate money to it if its still growing in the future, i would give some now but as im in the UK it seems a bit of a waste seeing the exchange rate at the moment. Hopefully it will get a bit better sometime then the money goes further.
