Yay
never said I was married, just almost married...
I'm only 24 so cut me some slack :p:
on another "yay" note. My offer on my first ever home buying excursion was accepted and will be closing on the 14th. Now if that doesn't count as a milestone, I'm clueless :D
As for more crunching power, I'll be using what I can of my bonus this year on a nice yorkfield rig hopefully with a BT2 pushing it.
Aside from other random house projects that will crop up, I want to do a from scratch pelt based water chiller to cool the beast.
Congratulations on one million. Also congrats to Nugzo and Juice Daddy@ToV for also going over a million.:up:
Congrats on the home too. Be careful though. A house can be a money pit.
83 days for my first million, 35 for the second, pretty pleased.
If all goes as planned Febuary or March should see me planting seeds in a nice little farm in the basement. Maybe get that down down to 7-10 days.
Yes, but as a long-time homeowner I can tell you maintaining a home is not cheap. Next year I'll be having a new roof put in. That's going to cost around $20K. I just had the home re-painted. That was another couple thousand. You get some of that back when you sell. But right now the housing market is in the toilet. Fortunately I bought my current home when prices were still cheap. But I feel sorry for the people who bought when the market was peaking. Not only is their home worth less than what they paid, but it's hard to find buyers even if they want to get out.
Buying a home is a good investment, long-term. But you have to be able to weather the financial storms. And right now, the mortgage market is in the midst of a tsunami.
No also a q6600 @ 3.0 in a media center i built on a P5K-VM board in a tiny little case, so cooling is a beotch, so no high clocking. So 2 quads, both in working machines, one my gaming rig, which has very up and down production due to my everyday use, the media center is much more stable in what it produces, as it is not really used for too much gaming.
150000 points per day, 10 Q6600 @ 3.6 should do it. Looking to build 6-8 rig farm, added to the 2 I have now, should be doable, and hoping with th penryn launch will be able to get the Q6600's on the cheap.
I don't think the Q6600's will drop much..Just a hunch but we'll see.
Something for you to think on:
With the lower elec use and the lower heat output, The lesser Yorkies in the spring might be a better long term investment when all factors are tossed into the equation..
I've learned the hard way that in the summer these hot chips are a double cost..elec to run them and then the elec again to remove that heat from the house..Now in the winter that's not as bad as the added heat does have a small effect in cutting the oil bill.
It's snowing here today for the first time and my thermostat is set at 66 and it's 69F down here..:D
I will look at all the options when the time comes. I am coming under budget on the remodel at the house, and should have a fairly decent kitty to work from.
The only issue I have with the yorkies is support without ddr3, as things are playing out now, looks good. I have started stockpiling PSU's from ebay sniping, and picking up budget ram from fry's when corsair or something else 800 speed comes up dirt cheap. Have 6 cpu water blocks, so good there, only 2 rads will have to add 2 more I think, and they don't come cheap, at least the ones I like, the thermochills. Starting to snipe cheap video cards also to cover the rigs. So cpu and mobo's will be my biggest outlay of cash.
You may find that the yorkies at up to 4000-4200 can run nicely on air.
As to vid cards, Sierra posted a free after rebate mmx 4000 today I think..
$20.00 now, $20.00 rebate..Can't beat that with a stick.
Good place to Thank Sierra for all those deals he posts.
Greatly appreciated pal...Anything that helps save money here is a blessing!:up:
ROFL talking about competition.
o2bme and I are having it out right now.
And corruptor will be joining us very soon. <dayam he's fast... he reminds me of a mini-bob>
Most people seem to agree, but we'll see. If not maybe I can pick up a nice G0 from someone upgrading to Penryn.
I'd love a Penryn myself but I'd have to upgrade my mobo too. Apparently only the DS3 3.3 supports 45nm, though I'm assuming this isn't just marketing bs.
Love to get a Penryn and an X38 board and throw my e6420/DS3 in the back room to crunch but money's kind of tight at the moment. :(
Let me tell you something about him that I have learned over two years;
He rises to challenges like no one I've seen and will do what is necessary to win..Very determined individual. Combine that with his skills and he's not someone that I'd challenge in any way unless I knew I had a 3-1 advantage and even then he'd probably beat me!:rofl:
just passed 1,000,000

The whole dang team is pretty impressive. A VERY dedicated bunch.
Great job ShootStraight - 40 Million, What are you running?
Congrats to you too Movieman, great work on your points and stewardship of the group.
And who is this bachus_anonym? I have been getting ready for another Shintai type smackdown since seing him on the radar.
B_A is a memory expert , well known for his excellent memory reviews :up:
Works for Corsair now IRC ...
Just checked the stats , he's pushing almost 100k/day :eek:

(Makes reminder to go to store and buy more tire track remover)
Bachus looks interesting! :D
Man on a mission!
Just crawled past 100,000 :D :D
Wow, I see my name on serlv's list. That's new. I haven't checked my total score for months (What an obvious lie, bah !).
200k in 12 days,not bad for a bunch of antiques!
Just pipped the million mark and hauled myself back to top 100 on team again. I miust say that to keep even the top100 is a challenge now. A testament to the individual powerhouses.
WOOT! I should break 750,000 today!!! :D :D
Just passed 250,000 today!! WOOT!!! Nearly doubled my output since adding my main rig to the mix.

I wish I waited in the BF line for a q6600!!!
belated congrats to movieman, shootstraight, phillyboy, and everyone else.:up:
100,000 BOINC :up:
:D
Congrats to mccoffey and HICKFARM@ToV for passing one million.
Also, congrats to DDTUNG for doing 824,769 on Tuesday alone.
:up:
DDT is an inspiration for all of us. Almost makes me feel embarrassed to toot my own horn here.
Finally broke 3 million total WCG points and made it into the top 1,000 for WCG overall.
I've already built a couple of imaginary systems, including one with an sd card and ide-to-flash adapter to save a few bucks on another hard drive but I'm going to wait a while to see if any of the prices change in the next couple of weeks.
I'm still toying with the idea of opening a couple new paypal accounts so I can get that 20% discount at newegg (good for up to $50 - on up to $250). Than puts the OEM Q6600 at around $215 - very tempting.
Congrats to XS m411b for passing one million.
