:smokin:
SM7 (Folding as Icrontic7) has been absent from the SMx lineup for far too long. That is about to change, though.
We are looking for one of our solid team members to give this reconfigured rig a good home and keep her Folding for Team 93. The lucky new Host will be sent a brand new case to make this rig look nice in their home.
:smokin:
If you meet the qualifications for hosting one of our team's SMx machines, why not sign up to be a candidate? You could be the one chosen to house this Folding rig in your home, not to mention having that extra Folding sig to show off your status as one of Team 93's elite group of SMx Hosts.
The Hosting Requirements and Selection Process are available on the team page. Please look them over carefully before signing up.
If you feel you meet the requirements and are willing to sign the contract, throw your name in the hat by posting in this thread and giving us some details about your hosting conditions (connection, environment, etc.) and your computer ability that would mark you as a suitable host for this special SMx Folding machine.
:smokin:
Here's the lowdown on the hardware:
SM7 Specs:
Motherboard: ECS K7S5A v1.0
CPU: Athlon XP 2000+
Hard Drive: To Be Determined
Display Adapter: ATi 3D Rage PRO Turbo AGP
Memory: 384MB DDR333
NIC: Onboard SiS 900 Fast Ethernet
Case: A Brand-New Case & PSU will be shipped directly to the new host

If you happened upon this thread by accident and wonder what it is exactly that Folding hopes to accomplish, check out Join Folding for a quick summary of the F@H Project. Like many of us here, you could put your spare computer cycles to work for the betterment of mankind. Won't you consider joining us?
:smokin:
Sign up soon. We will give you plenty of notice before the signup period is closed and the SMx Committee vote is taken.
As per our new policy, there are no geographical limitations on hosting eligibilty.
:smokin:
Check out The SMx Project - Reloaded! thread for more information on the project in general. If you have any parts you could spare for future SMx rigs, go here and have a look at what we need. HD's, and Memory (PC1600 or greater) are in extremely short supply. To keep this project going we need your help.
Good luck, everybody!

Not likely, Bluto. Give someone else a chance.
Two fine candidates so far:
Nightwolf, I'm sure that with your enthusiasm your day will come. We'll probably be shipping Opteron rigs by then.
Correction, 82.648%. Anyway, I'd never give up SM4. She may not be the fastest, or the prettiest, but she's been with me every step of the way. And I love her, in a purely man-computer kind of way.
PLEASE THROW YOUR NAME IN THE HAT FOR HOSTING. NOT ONLY WOULD YOU HAVE THE HONOR OF REPRESENTING THE TEAM, YOU WOULD HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF RESTORING SM-7 TO IT'S RIGHTFUL PLACE IN AN OUTSTANDING LINEUP OF DONATED RIGS AND PROUD CUSTODIANS. WHAT WE DO HERE WITH THE SMX PROJECT IS PRECEDENT SETTING. TO OUR KNOWLEDGE, WE WERE THE FIRST DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING TO SHOW THE SPIRIT AND COMRADERY TO POOL OUR RESOURCES, MANIFESTING ITSELF IN TEAM-OWNED, DONATED COMPUTERS.
I am and always will be dedicated to team 93, and anything I can do to get us back to the top 10! I am all over it; I am even offering a 15% discount on all computers builds for clients who will fold for team 93. If the team is willing to allow me to have the honor to host #7 “the funny thing is 7 is my lucky number” I would be honored.

PS secure home environment & DSL connection.
The HERE AND NOW is that we have a knockout team, an innovative SMx program that works damned well, and a fellowship of loyal, unselfish hosts. That's the bottom line, my friends.
On a better note I have a dual pent 450 with abpout a gig of ram, but it wieghts a ton., I could donate the parts or the system as a SMX rig.... I got windows XP on it...and it has about 14 gigs of hd scuzzy style
details: 8Mb DSL, have 5 Pcs in the flat already (all folding of course) and I'm a system / network admin so I can solve any problems that crop up.
You could run F@H on that under my username!
Name and shame. Although to be honest, I think the SMX project should be a little more... selective...
Your point is well taken, though. In general, there has been a move away from picking someone based mostly on their rah-rah attitude in the forums, to one of looking at the larger picture. That's not to say that enthusiasm for the project isn't a big plus, though.
The main things we look for are these:
(in no particular order)
On a positive note, though we've lost a few rigs here and there, we've had more rigs returned to the team by honorable hosts who simply no longer had the time to care for them than we've lost to perfidious behavior. We all undergo changes in our lives from time to time. The majority of those who have had life's circumstances affect their ability to be a dedicated host have done the right thing - and have earned the gratitude of the entire team.
(Upper case for my database.... sorry)
I have a small hard drive already, and don't worry about shipping a case and PSU out to the UK. My donation to the team would include a cheapo case and I have a nice Antec PSU gathering dust.
Cheers

Sweet avatar, can ya get those cogs red?
Sledgehammer70 has been a member of Short-Media for only half a month and joined Team93 a whopping 11 days ago... what happened to the "long standing and reputable member of the community with a history of dedication to the folding team"?
