    Building a silent box

    I think Skillz suggestion is bang on, I've done some builds with Fractal cases and can confirm they are *incredibly* quiet to the point of being inaudible. A little note (not to take away from Skillz's suggestion), I am in a similar boat but in my case the wife doesn't want to see -or- hear...

    My BOINC Farm (pics)

    Some background: My wife is hesitantly supportive of my DC hobby. Basically, I'm allowed to pursue DC as long as the following criteria are met: She doesn't have to see a room full extra computers (out of sight) She doesn't have to hear any extra noise (fans humming, etc.) I chip in extra...

    Antec EDGE 650W Power Supply Lucky Draw

    Antec stands for reliability, efficiency, and overall dependability! I would use this to build a new folding@home rig and help humanity with the [H]orde!

    Rosetta@home

    Looks like the issues have been resolved, if you can call it an issue - what actually appears to have happened is a huge swath of new users joined the project due to it now being bundled with a new DC platform and it caused a big logjam as their servers were pushed beyond their concurrent...

    Mtnduey 3,000,000,000 fah points

    Come over to BOINC, there are lots of awesome projects to choose from. Rosetta@home is still in the protein space but from a very different angle and they've recently made some very interesting headway in their research. They also keep a very active thread on their main forums where they keep...

    What's the big deal?

    Hello All, It's been a long time since I've posted in here (years, I believe). I haven't really participated in F@H much recently either (though I've done and am doing a bunch of BOINC stuff). I have recently been browsing these forums and have stumbled across a few people eluding to 'PG...

    Doctors Using Brain Surgery Simulator

    Not to get political about this, but as a Canadian watching all the debates in the US about universal health care, I have to tell you this is a prime example of why I'm so proud to be Canadian and how great our health care system is. As a previous poster said, this surgery was FREE! Also, a...
