Are there any project in particular that you want the winner to crunch for or can they do any project they wish as long as it belongs to Free-DC?

Just tightening the scope.

I really like the fact that I won. This is called growth through pain you know.

This is my way to give back to the DC community. All of you who participate good luck to you. And you thought it was all over.... :cheers:

I beleave the choice of the project that is run on the PC should be left up to to the owner of it We Are After All Free-DC :kiss: :|punch|: :kiss:

If we're going to make it so the PC can go to ANY project (though I would say if you keep giving AMDs away I'd say STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM SoB) then this thread should move the the Lobby or some other "main" area of the forum instead of the FaD portion.

an earlier post from lauren seemed to suggest that i was eligible for this round (after the first week; not sure about that though), but you should leave me out anyway; After I assemble my new hardware into a cruncher (which I think will also be a new daily driver for my wife; her current machine doesnt crunch for unrelated reasons), I will have enough spare hardware lying around for a 3rd machine but don't know if i'll have the space, or the power budget, for a 4th. (maybe i'll try the 2 mobo with 1 PS thing, but that's down the road:) )

so you can leave me out of any drawings unless I say otherwise :)

I don't mean to be a wet blanket but the rules states that you should have 5 PCs or less to be eligible for this drawing.

I don't know if this includes borged machines or not though. LAURENU2, care to clarify?

OK to Have 5 or Less of them physically in your home, garage, shed, or dog house and have to feed them bread crumbs out of your pocket Because my dad's a bit of an ass, I'm not allowed to include his or my grandmother's computer in my DC hobby, so I only have one computer running it.

It won't matter at all for at least the next two drawings, but if the contest is around long enough and I get lucky and win two free computers, will that put me over my limit?

Recap: Father's and grandmother's computer(granny's computer in same house to share Internet) not controlled by any DC project because of rules, only one computer in house running DC. I'd like an official computer count.

Edit: I just reread the bread crumbs comment. Never mind.

AS quiet as I am normally, you might as well count me in on this one.

I'm down to my 300Mhz G3 for my computing power. and my 486 laptop.

In case it wasn't apparent in my last post, I'd like to be included in this drawing.

Thanks

btw, I'll be getting another job soon. No promises, but local government laws involving benefits might make it desirable for me to give out gifts in the next year or so. *wink* *wink*

Tomorrow's the day! Anyone have a complete list of who's in the drawing just to be sure all who want in have gotten in?

I still can't believe how generous you guys are. I may have a DVD-RW (not the best in the world) that I'll give a way, but I can't afford to foot the shipping. Plus, that really doesn't help with advancing any DC projects, does it?

Any ideas on if I should do it?

It continues to amaze me how generous you guys are. Why isn't everyone a member of Free-DC?!

-Jeff There's a contradiction between the announcement on the main page and what's going on here. This thread requires FaD membership(I think, am I wrong?) and the other thread claims you just have to be a member of Free-DC. I'm reasonably(98%) sure I'm a member of Free-DC SOMEWHERE, even though at the moment I'm involved in a project that doesn't use teams or points(sierpenski base-5).

I don't want to make anyone angry, so can I get a ruling before the official announcement?

Edit: If I make it into the competition and people complain, I'll make sure I keep my promise of crunching to a million on Free-DC, but except in terms of team loyalty, it's not high on my list of things to do. Also, if I win the processor, it'll stay with Free-DC no matter what.

jasong,

PM me with your FAD email address and handle and I'll crunch a unit for you to get your id to switch teams if you wish.
