Anyone want to help me spend my money and put together a shopping list? :D I'm never very good at these things :confused: I'm not sure what kind of specs (RAM, CPU, PSU) would be required for this build, if these new work-units will require lots of RAM like the bigadv units, etc. Also, with...

CV, thanks again for the reply. That's what I figured was your reasoning behind recommending the smaller card. I was thinking about doing a single GTX780TI now, using a better CPU / mobo setup which would at least handle four PCI slots at 8x, having the rig be under $1000 total, and then adding...

Thanks Christian! I've been working with server hardware the past several years and am very rusty when it comes to desktop equipment. Do you have any suggestions on the remaining hardware specs (RAM, CPU, Mobo, PSU) I would need to be able to handle the 780Ti and core-17 workload? Any specific...

Hello, world! It's been quite a while since I've been active with folding, and there have definitely been notable changes! I am looking to build a rig to get back into the fold again, and am hoping to do as much good for the project (not necessarily just PPD) that I can for $1000. It seems...

I had stopped folding for some time. My last completed work unit was April of 2012, but to Defeat Default I am giving it all I got! ... Even if that may be a single miserly C2D ;) I may have to put in a kind word with my managers - we have over 12,000 servers at work. Go [H]!!!

I just bought it ;) Wow. Just.... wow. You guys have truly gone over the top with all the help in this thread. I did wind up going with a used SR2 setup at this time, but having all this information in one place is going to be priceless for myself and (I could only imagine) many others in...

Can you guys drop some models or specs to look for with 4P solutions? The upgrade path sounds like a smart move, but I can already hear my wallet crying ;) Can you provide us with your specs and price ranges? That's not too shabby at all. Can you provide more details on your setup?

Hello, world! I had created a similar thread some time ago with the idea of coming up with a plan to get to 100k PPD for the least amount out of pocket. This was in the good ole days when an i7-2600k would pump out BA workunits. The result basically wound up being naked, bare-bones 2600k boxes...

^THIS /thread I stopped using Facebook and Myspace when I was 16. Why? I was getting sick of how immature and useless those types of sites are. Fast-forward quite a few years and now it seems it's being used by nearly every middle-aged person who has absolutely ZERO personal life. I was at a...

One PSU down, more parts to go \o/

Hello [H]:D I am starting to fold for the [H]orde full-time and am looking to put together some rigs inexpensively. My goal is to put together a 100k PPD farm for less than $1,500 (USD) and I am hoping you guys can help me out with some hardware :) Please let me know what you have and your...

\o/ Just pulled the trigger on an XT and I am hoping for big things here! I think it may go nicely with the Logitech G9x that I picked up from the Egg for $30 ;) Ok, now the Egg is claiming 2 day shipment so let's see who wins the race! I spend *lots* of time on computers - between my personal...
