Again, full time PS3's needed.

Post by rickoic »

We need:
20 full time folding PS3's to keep Team PimpRig from passing us.
52 full time folding PS3's to keep Free Republic Folders - A Tribute to Ronald Reagan from passing us.
84 full time folding PS3's to keep Pande Lab from passing us.
1,116 full time folding PS3's to keep xtremesystems.org from passing us.
and finally
1,230 full time folding PS3's to keep Folding@SweClockers.com from passing us.

Granted all of these are grandeous goals. But possibly some of them are obtainable.

Spending $400-1,000 for a full time folding PC will net you about 100-150 points each day.

Spending $400 + tax and shipping, will purchase a PS3 40 GB which if folding full time will produce around 1,000 points each day, minus the time it is used to play games.

I added one about 2 weeks ago and my daily production increased by 1,000+ points per day.

Now I'm looking at possible selling some of my motherboards and cpu's and purchasing another PS3 with the procedes and installing it in another room in my house where when we are visited by our grandkids they sleep.

Fold on, Team 15.

If adding strictly for folding, it is cheeper, and provides more points than much higher priced computers.

Also, if you have kids, or are interested in playing games your self, it can have a duel role.

Fold on everyone,,,,

Just a note for anyone that is thinking of trying to use multiple PS3's with the same TV. I just purchased a RCA switch box through eBay for $14.94 encluding shipping which will allow up to 5 devices to be hooked to one TV, changable from one to one display with just the punch of a button on the front panel.

Build your PS3 farm. :nod: :nod: :nod:

Fold on......
