how many DC projects are you active in ?

[FoBoT]

out of the eleven projects with project areas here on Free-DC , how many do you have at least one boxen crunching for?

[FoBoT]

for me, seven, it would be eight, but i switched my single F@H boxen to ECCP when i pulled the P3-700 cpu out and replaced it with a celeron 266@400, with that short time limit F@H has, i will only run it on boxen with fast cpu and SOLID internet connection

i am looking to become a jack of all trades, i want to run at least one home pc on all eleven projects, but right now i only have 8 pc's at home and then use the work farm to move around to projects that are lacking in active participation, kinda like a mini - ars flying squad idea like they do at Arstechnica :)

[Condor]

For me, just three. Genome, DF and some are on FAH. I just want to hit 1000 in Folding-At-Home and then move them somewhere else.
Oh wait, I can't count. I still have a few on Seti - that makes four.

[delerium721]

Im only working on one since i only got 2 boxes, one is a celeron433 the other is a p100... and neither are on full time

[mr_mann]

ive got a lil in...
RC5
SETI
G@H
folding

and did some of that clickers thing

o o and ubero :D

[Chinasaur]

OGR and ECCP

I never got through Algebra but Math projects interest me.

[Paratima]

One: DF

...that is, now that the Seti gauntlet is over. I feel better concentrating my efforts, but a break now & then is a good thing, too. In the past I have run Genome, F@H, and UD.

[Smiling Carnivore]

99.9% of the time, one project.

Currently that is genome, when I switch to a new project, I test it on one box and then bring all my boxen over.

[Alpha_7]

SETI :D
Have tried to diversify, but keep coming back,
some how I just can't finish with that project.

not that it counts, Project-Dolphin aswell.

[Papa Shango [JSI]]

Only one for me and thats seti :D

seti 0wnz j00 :D

[CSMan]

Currently only running Distributed Folding because I only have one box!
Unless someone wants to give me another one....? :D

[Supp]

Tried all - F@H, df, G@H, seti, rc5+ogr, eccp, gimps, ubero, tsc, d2ol, ud and many others, but currently most of my
power is focused to eccp.

One box (1.4) is dedicated to couch my Anarchistic moods - when I want to switch entire farm, I do it at first here, let it run for some time and then I usually leave farm untouched :)

If you pay the shipping, I have a couple of older machines sitting around.

P-100 and 133 I think. I occasionally get asked to give old computers a nice loving home where they can frolic with the other boxen.:crazy:

[IronBits]

7 out of 10 projects (Ubero is still not a project yet)
1) SETI@Home
1) Distributed.net (RC5)
7) Distributed Folding
1) ECCp109
0) Folding@Home
1) Genome@Home
1) D2OL - Sengent
1) TSC - Rothberg
0) Ubero
0) UD (THINK)
0) GIMPS
:sleepy:
(disclaimer: project participation can change at anytime) :D

[Daza]

plaidfishes did you say you were giving away 166 / 100's??

are yuo jokeing or is the offer only valid for CSMan............

:notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy

[Elspuddy]

i'm just in the one, rc5 :)

[Alpha_7]

Hey good to see you Elspuddy :) How ya doing ?
I read the article with u and Alipuk cleaning the dust out of the case. Twas good :)

Down with Dust.

Me doing Project Dolphin and Seti now..

not that Dolphin really counts..

Hey, never saw this post! Must be going blind...
Don't think I'll take you up on it but, thanks for the offer plaidfishes! :thumbs: :thumbs:

[Elspuddy]

hey Alpha_7, i'm doing fine, yous you doing,
yep still a lot of dust in my case, but what do you exepet with 2 x 120 mm sunon fans on the side ;)

[Alpha_7]

I had a chuckle when I saw all those bugs that had got sucked in..

U need to get some filters for those 120mm :)

Fortunately for my my 120mm is a exhaust.. so it only gets dusty from the dust already inside my case..

[Elspuddy]

dont filters restiect air flow ??

[Daza]

they probably would but with 2 * 120mm fans does that really matter??

[Elspuddy]

to me yes :p

[Daza]

hmmmmm add another one to make up for it :D

[Elspuddy]

can;t ot i'l be mounting them on my window :D

[Alpha_7]

They do of course restrict some of the air flow..

but it really depends on the type of filter and what gauge it is..
If u get some "flyscreen" type then it will keep those bugs out of your case.. but still let plenty of air thru..

or if u want to keep the dust out.. then get the foam/papery type.. which will keep the dust and bugs out, u just wash the dust out when it builds up.. but that kind prevents air flow more..

[Daza]

what are you running that needs such massive air flow anyway???

[Elspuddy]

mmmmm loverly........ if only my bank account had a little bit more in it (read 20 x more) i could get me something a bit like that though i would put better graphics in it...i do more gaming

[Elspuddy]

was going to get an x-box with the cash for my pc, but i bunt out my cpu by putting a copper shim on the wrong way, i did not see the l1-l2 chips :(
now i realy what is a gf4 ti 4600, got to save up for one of them :)

[Daza]

*drools @ gf4 ti*

im going for a gf4 mx440 (more in my price range)

whats the xbox like....dont think its released here yet

i always sorta gone along with the theory that a cmputer has way more capability then a console and have neva seriously thought about buying one

[Elspuddy]

it';s good, but i have only played on my firends house,
i did have a mx card , but i did not get mutch impruvement from my gts

heheheh discovered the cost of shipping an obsolete box from Canada did you :scared:


On the topic of low cost parts and systems:

For those of you in the WA/BC area, I have been seeing a lot of pentium type boxen here in Vancouver in the thrift stores. Usually around $15 to $40 (CDN). Value Village has a pallet of them. As crunching machines they aint much but as a source of parts like HD, video cards, network cards, power supplies and fans, it can't be beat. So far, I haven't seen any reason to have much more than a 1GB HD for a DF cruncher so spending $30(US) will usually get you enough HD, PS and video for a small farm. Well worth the visit if you are in the area.

[Daza]

wow, people here seem to think that a pentium 166 is still worth at least $500 NZ, divide by 2 for US or that say a 700 is worth teh same or more then a brand new athlon xp system...... its nuts

[ColinT]

When Df goes tits-up, I run 17 or Bust. THe client is very much like ECCP. Very good stats.

http://sob.pns.net/stats/userstats.shtml?username=ColinT

[Chinasaur]

Hey plaid,

I'm in WA...good idea on buying boxes for parts...plus I know a few people who don't have computers or really old ones..and they would make great gifts at that price.

Thanks for the heads up!!

:cheers:

[joseph_arthur]

Hi,

This summer, I don't know each project choice ? I have a possible of 350 PCs for me for 3 mouth.

In this moment, I run:

6 x Seventeen or Bust,

300 x Primenet (GIMPS)

50 x United Devices

hold on Distributed Folding.

What I choice ? genome? cancer? Math?

May be I go for the short (I suppose) project "Seventeen or Bust", and after "United Devices"

Bye :)

[Alpha_7]

Welcome to the forums joseph_arthur :)

I've seen it a few times now... what Is 17 or Bust ???

Cheers,
Alpha_7

[Paratima]

Colin mentioned it a cpl of posts above. It's one of them math thingies. Try http://sob.pns.net/.

[smh]

Just saw this is an old thread, so just to bring it up.

For the ones who don't know, Seventeen or Bust is a project that tries to solve the Sierpinski problem by finding primes for seventeen remaining numbers. In the last two weeks they found 4 of them so 13 to go. The largest of the four found is the 20st largest known prime. The next one to find might be in the top 5

Their forum is also hosted by Free-dc, their website is www.seventeenorbust.com

SoB is my choice for DC at the moment. But you know how it is....DF has a way of dragging us back in at any given moment.
