WCG Stats Milestones

[littleowl]

There are single band amps for around $200 - see http://www.cell-phone-accessories.co...hl=en&sa=title . Dual band are a little more. See http://www.myelectronicshome.com/har...ifier-343.html

Might be able to use your existing antenna if it can handle the wattage.
I think the Verizon unlim evdo plan is around $60/month - so aside from the equipment, you'd actually be saving money. Supposedly evdo goes up to 2000kps, but even if it's only 300-400kps, you'd still be in broadband heaven.

If you know someone who's familiar with the equipment and could help set it up, it would be worth trying. Plus you get a thousand geek points for every antenna you plant on your roof. You can't beat that.

sorry I didn't reply! Thanks for the info. I have looked into them but 200 is a lot of money.
I will have to start doing some more research on it again. I started working on it something like a year ago! I got a very nice yagi antenna.

[twilyth]

no problemo - you can always check flea-bay or craigslist - just don't respond to any job offers. Heard something on radio about a girl who got lured to her death via a babysitting job on craigslist. Way too many sick B@$t@rds out there.

[littleowl]

I have looked on ebay before but they cost more then the ones you posted a link to!

I didn't even think about looking on craigslist.

Well like I said I will have to do some more reading and see if I can find something again.

[WindForce]

Thanks, but 5.5 inches won't work. I really want to use a TRUE 120. I can probably just lay a mini tower on it's side, but I'd rather not. I think Movieman might be right at looking for a 5U rack mount. However there are some nice micro-atx cube cases that would work and a gigabyte m/b that i could probably live with. GIGABYTE GA-G33M-DS2R LGA 775 Intel G33 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
Is there a huge difference between the P35 and G33 northbridge chipsets?

I don't understand. This case is not as high as 5U ( it's maybe 3 or 4u high ), and it's definitely not as high as a minitower on his side...
Also i think the cooling on both sides are 120, not sure...

[twilyth]

I'm probably going to get this silverstone case . It's over 8" high and the cpu will be on the side of the case that has the most vertical clearance - at least if I've got everything figured out correctly. The TRUE 120 is 6.3 inches tall so even with 8.3 inches, it will still be tight - m/b + plate + standoffs is probably close to an inch. In the worst case I'll have to RMA a couple things.

It only has 2 fans, but it looks like I can add one more 80mm fan - can't be sure till I get it. Plus the psu will have a 120mm fan so that should give it enough air.

[o2bme]

I'm working on it. I want to put a system on the rack with my tv but I don't have a lot of space so I'm trying to find a case that will fit but which will also be able to handle a TRUE 120 (6.3 inches of clearance). So I need a very short tower case or a desktop case. But all of these are mini-atx - the decent ones anyway and the m/b I want is ATX. A few more days on Newegg and I might get it sorted.

I went with this one - there is just shy of 7" from mb tray to top. Had the same micro atx or not debate

Yaowzer!!!! You got more scratch than I do. That's out of my price range. I shouldn't be building this system at all, but I been jones'in real bad and I can't stop myself.

I'm still working on it but at this point I think I'm going with a cheap Athenatech case. I'll post everything once I think I've got everything together. The specs say it's 7" high so the true 120 might just fit - especially if I give it a good lapping

Passed 100k Boinc points today!

Let's add another zero to that.

[twilyth]

Excellent!!! You have 41million points for majestic 12. I could look it up, but if you feel like telling me what that was about I'd be interested. Those are some serious numbers.

Maj-12 is a distributet search engine in which your pc looks up pages in the internet and indexes them. so mostly bandwith work

[corruptor]

Looks like I am a little over 2mil pts they do add up

He mumbles to himself.. need more quads...

[twilyth]

Cool, I'll have to try it out - just on principle. Google is over $700 per share - or it was yesterday - that's just obscene.

[sierra_bound]

Congrats to ShootStright for passing 5 million in BOINC, and to WindForce for passing 3 million. That translates to more than 35 million and 21 million WCG points respectively.
