    can we muster up just a little enthusiasm? pretty please?

    I know there's a general feeling of 'meh' towards the CC this year but c'mon... kinda feel like I'm going it alone...

    Just coz we aren't posting doesn't mean we aren't participating. I may only be able to run one machine, but I will do what I can :)

    I might just dust off the rig and turn in a couple of WUs for the cause.

    Well, I figured the weather forecast is probably wrong and it'll still be cold...

    Plus I need an excuse to test this H55 properly.

    Its been the same for the last few years, generally quiet beforehand but people will get involved :)

    I'll see about firing up FAH on my wee server and my HTPC as they are on 24x7 anyway and then see what the power draw is like, probably drop in a few units with my GFX cards if I think I can afford it too.

    *edit*

    I have done some testing right now, server is only good for 1000PPD, my 2600k with not the best cooling can only do around 20kPPD, my GTX460 15k PPD and my 2500k 20kPPD.

    Ill have the 2600k and server going all the time, so thats an additional 21k PPD from me, plus the occasional bursts I will do that will take it to 56k PPD roughly.

    So, for those who are already folding for the team, just continue doing so? We don't have to join a different team? (which is how I thought it worked in the past). Cool. I might even get my main rig on the case for 10 days :)

    Just thought, I already use a passkey - is the one linked above different?

    Previous years you had to fold as a specific user [CustomBitChimps], this year you don't have to, but if you still want to you can.

    The link above if for if you're a newbie, without a passkey, as it should link to the generate passkey page. If you've already got one, great, use that. If you're planning to fold as CustomBitChimps, pm me for the key.

    Nice job RedFlames, sorry not had a chance to have a chat with you about it, when I say I have been up to my ears with work, personal stuff and general life it would be a huge understatement!!

    I will be getting as much as I can on-line for the challenge, I have a pair of old SQL servers in work im going to borrow for the challenge as well, they are quad, quad core HP DL580's, they are older gen but 8 CPU's with 4 cores each (No HT) should be enough to get relatively decent times on a Bigadv :)

    I wish everyone good luck for the challenge and if you can get your toaster folding then do it! lol
