That's great :!:

, though I'm disappointed Rusty is down to #5.

And where is that Muffin Man? :?:

A really big milestone, we've been struggling down from 60.

So how do we celebrate? Where's the party

DryFire · **Posted:** Fri Jun 13, 2003 7:54 am

I celebrate by buying a 2500+. as soon as i get back form vacation of course.

I'll celebrate by buying my 2 node farm; after I get my pay check today I'll have enough, woot!

it will also be penance for my sins; I have earned a good portion of this money, and now even have the nerve to browse this forum, in a quite unsilent server room- SPCR Hell for short. And the Atlantek isn't running now... as if the two servers + switches, etc, wasn't enough fan noise to drive one crazy. (Speaking of the printer, if you ever see a Gulton ST261, RUN! run for your lives! Its a pretty fast thermal print... and its so noisy it can be heard anywhere in the office :shock:

)

you should hear the University of Kentucky's server room!

I toured Wisconin's server room when I was visiting the campus (only one other school let me see their server room, and it was far less impressive.... I'm going to wisconsin next year; coincidence? I don't think so

) and it was pretty noisy between all the computers and a/c units....

FWIW. They're server rooms....keeping the machines up and running requires that they stay cool which necessitates fan and AC noise and is part of the function of the room. I can't find the link, but I remember during the last move for the SPCR servers that the admins here said, even the servers for this site are not "quieted."

BTW, congrats on heading to Wisconsin...hope those are good years for you.

you should see my high school's server "room".

two old p2 servers and 2 or 3 switches. and a buch of usless rj45 cables. All over the school there are switches in drawers unused and basically unneeded. Peopl steal some regularly and no one notices.

Of course servers have to be noisy; their prime requisite is stability, and stability means so much cooling that there is no possibility of overheating.

But the most annoying thing about this room is..... most of the computers have a Dual 19" monitor display, except for 4, one of which is stuck with a lone 21" for space, and I'm stuck on this dinky little 14" monitor... I'd almost rather do the boring scanning stuff for use of those dual 19".... (one of the applications they frequently use is much easier with two monitors)

Can someone tell me if SPCR folding team will make it into the top 10 or top 5?

It seems to me this team is really flying up the ranks. Congrats people for all the hard folding you have done.

Number 1 is the place to be :D

Except we will need a bit more horsepower (more boxen!) to get there

If you look at the java version of these stats you can sort on weekly output & renumber: currently we are 22nd highest weekly producer so that would be our current limit.

Ah, covetousness

You must really be dedicated to the advancement of the SPCR folding team if you're complaining about your 14" monitor while at the same time looking to drop $500+ on two folding nodes. :shock:

Go team!

hehe, the 14" is at work... I'm using a 19" here, bought it two years ago to replace a 15" for less than $200; a couple months ago it was whining intermittently, but its stopped

Of course I'd like dual 21" monitors, but where will I find room around my folding nodes?

Fingle · **Posted:** Wed Jun 18, 2003 7:37 am

Team rank is now 49! Isn't this exciting?

Zhentar · **Posted:** Wed Jun 18, 2003 11:45 am

Theres a few banks in the area; I was hoping I could visit one at night with a delta fan.....

(stick em up! give me $1000 now, or I turn the fan on!)

Zhentar · **Posted:** Wed Jun 18, 2003 4:59 pm

damn, I knew there just had to be a flaw in my plan somewhere...

but we're 47th now, thats what counts!

I couldn't help noticing that the production of TRC-13 has dropped dramatically. TRC, fire those PC's back up again, we have a chance of outproducing the Knights for the first time!

(until milleniumknight gives his farmanimals yet another testosteron injection :roll:

)

edit: forget it, the wormhole closed already, we need to wait another 100 years again

I think its strange that I am still in first, even with only 8 PC's running for me. One of those is a laptop. How is that these people with 23 PC's aren't producing more? Are they all PII 400's? Maybe they are on only intermittently?

Too bad it doesn't list total Ghz. That would maybe be more useful than CPU's.

Here's my lineup. These are all on 24/7

2.5 P4
2.0 P4
2.0 P4
2.0 P4
1.0 PIII
1.2 (Duron 1200)
750 Mhz PIII - Laptop
2.0 (Barton 2500+) (Running as a Barton 2800)
--------------------------
~13.45 Ghz of power.

I think a lot of people don't leave their pc's running 24/7 like us nuts.

Yup, just like you do with the ladies when you tell them your hobby is folding proteins on your computer all day.
