Nope. WCG doesn't use graphics processors at all right now.

Open boinc manager,go to projects tab and if under where it says "team" you see "XtremeSystems" then your golden.
As to WCG for video cards no but GPU grid does work and compatable with WCG..
Now I'll give you some time to recheck those connections again..:rofl:

I don't even run the three "case" fans in the picture! :rofl: They're too dang LOUD! Mind you, when if I close the box with them powered up there's considerable air-flow out those back ports. I've been meaning to put a varistor in the circuit so I can run them slower but haven't got around to it just yet.

@D_A: Looks good in a box! :yepp:

@tiro: Orange is cool, me likes! :up:

Thanks for building those Sammys, I'm moving this week and would have had to throw them out... :shakes: Everything has to fit in my sedan as I'm moving 2200 miles across the country and I don't have enough stuff to bother with a U-Haul. Unfortunately, I won't be taking Sammy1 with me either... I've installed Windows 2008 on it and it's running SharePoint Server 2007 as part of a family intranet project, so at least it'll see good use.

It's been hard to let go of my Sossamans and it'll be sad to leave my original Sammy behind, but oh well, at least it's been fun and I've learned TONS of stuff about servers, networks, baseboard management controllers, and 32-bit memory addressing. Good stuff! :up:

I have another set of processors in the hands of the postal service, or customs, which I hope will turn up eventually so I can start building another one. As for the box ... eATx case are a little hard to come by where I am, or just plain expensive, and the cardboard box was in the right place at the right price so :rolleyes:
As for "cable management" ... the PSU doesn't fit in the box :p:

and thankyou :up:
