    So i left my ps3 on all night and it completed 2 workloads...granted it doesn't give you as much points. If anyone is scared to try this with their ps3 because they are worried about overheating, don't worry about it. My ps3 actually feels cool to the touch which is strange haha

    Yeah the title says it.
    I want to see a new sub-forum for all the posts asking questions about what are good parts for building a new computer, or people asking what's a good computer to buy.
    The Computers, Software & Technology forum is ~80% made of this stuff.

    Could someone at least write a great 'Computer Parts & Picking Guide' that should get stickied to slow down the countless repeated posts?

    A sticky for this would give everyone a single place to ask their questions about this, and find answers from previous posts. It would also clean up the sub-forum a lot and get rid of the junk. The "Is this computer good stuff" really feels like spam now.

    I think a lot of you would agree with me.



    Check out the new sticky about a new sub-forum. What we really need is a dedicated mod because people have tried making guides but they fall on deaf ears.

    Using screen shots to show the noteworthy land formations I would assume.


    Is there any rhyme or reason to these seeds? For example do the number mean anything? would it be possible to create a program where you input variables such as type of biome, ravines, flat, mountains, and other things like that and it would give you a seed that matches what you want?

    A huge rack full of GPUs would be better, but suck more power than half of Poland, louder then a stadium full of vuvuzelas, and hotter than the surface of the Sun.


    How would one even go about adding multiple motherboards together?

    haha i have 3 120mm fans in mine and check out what i just added:



    I had an 80mm fan that i had painted a few weeks ago just for the hell of it and i wanted to see if it would actually push any air lol (yes i realize it is upside down and should be exhausting i just did that to show you the color haha)

    AMD is winning for the top cards right now, but they will likely lose to the Kepler GPUs coming out later this year


    Only because they released the 7000 series sooner than nvidia but nvidia will almost definitely beat them with theirs.

    Ehm, you know there's not only ATI Radeon but also Nvidia, which is I think a bit cheaper and better than the AMD GPUs. So I think you'll only get a bottlenecking and too expensive PC with that specs. What you could do is look up or contact those private PC-Sellers. They build after your needs and only take 100 bucks more for that. So keep a look around. And I know you hate to hear it but making your own computer is the best and cheapest way to get a PC and it's not even that hard.


    Don't know don't post. ATI has better cheap cards and nvidia has better high end cards.

    Nope, you can enter your identity information on ps3 the same as you do on a computer.

    I like the books too, but I have been reading a lot more lately and most books cost $10 where as a Nook Simple Touch costs $100 and you can download most books for free.

    It wouldn't be such a big deal if my cpu was given smaller work units that don't take 13 hours to complete. Instead I have just been folding on my gpu and ps3 since they only take between 2-5 hours per work unit.


    I thought the ps3 could only fold for sony?
