Announcing A New SMx Computer!
:celebrate SM32 Is Ready To Go!!! :celebrate
:smokin:

What could be better to help you get through the cold winter months than adding a nice computer to your home? While the sun hangs low on the horizon you could be watching the new SMx Rig in your care rise to heights of glory in the Notable Milestones Forum. (Got to get a plug in for that, eh. :thumbsup: ) While all your friends are stumbling around beneath a dark and gloomy sky you could be sitting at home basking in the soft green glow of the power led on a 24/7 dedicated Folding machine.

Drive away those winter blues - sign up for SM32 today! :csimon:
:smokin:

If you meet the qualifications for hosting one of our 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, announce your candidacy 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 our latest SMx Folding machine.

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? :wave:
: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.

Good luck, everybody! :thumbsup::fold:

    I don't stand a chance, so I will show my support to the people who have been far more active, and are frankly, just more deserving. Good luck to everyone!

    In Prof's case, SMX rigs are like potato chips, he can't have just one.:vimp:

    Okay here goes.

    I would like to host SM32. I have a solid cable connection at home with a DSL line as backup. I love computers and I love using their spare cpu cycles for a good cause. They don't need to be lazy just sitting around waiting for me to get home. I have lots of computer experience and like to build them as a hobby now. I still make money on the side for PC repair. Unfortunatley I have not been too active on the forums for the last 6 months because I have been travelling for that time. Which makes me sound like a bad choice for a host, but rest assured I had someone checking on my machines once a week while I was away just in case they did not auto restart properly or something. My computers home is a clean one. No excessive dust, and everything I own is well maintained. Well, thanks for reading and once again good luck to all who enter.:rockon::rockon:

    For some reason I just had the idea to repunctuate that sentence in a variety of ways.

    "Good to see you back in, Deicist" (contest)
    "Good to see you, back in, Deicist" (parking)
    "Good to see you back, in Deicist" (:nudge:)

    Sorry. Back to the topic, gents!

    Hmm. Can-i-date: 1) A Canadian female selected for courting, sometimes referred to as a "co-ed". 2) A person lacking in maturity so as to render him of questionable age to start courting persons of the opposite sex. ("Can I date?")

    Well Buddha you may be right ...you might not win this time. But by putting your name in the hat today you've got a chance and you're that much closer to being a host. Be persitent and volunteer whenever you see the chance and you'll get one someday if you prove to be responsible and trustworthy ...I can almost assure it!
