Who wants SM20?

Sorry for the delay. Been busy and got off track.
As always here are the rules for hosting a SMx rig.
1) Team member must be in good standing and have shown dedication to Team Short-Media, former Team Icrontic, and the Folding@Home project for the long haul. Past participation and contributions are taken into account. Please remember this now also includes keeping at least one machine other than the SMx rig folding for Team 93. You must be an active member to participate and continue participating.
2) The member must be able to provide SM20 with a safe and secure environment for an extended period of time - this means an indeterminate period.
3) You must be knowledgeable in building computers and loading operating systems, and all that is entailed. You are at Short-Media.com, there is a wealth of knowledge, use it. In the event the rig should fail, the host is expected to make a good effort in trying to repair the rig and report to the team what is going on.
4) Dedicated, "always-on" Internet connection 24/7, 56K and up, and a free port on an existing network (we don't normally supply routers/hubs/switches with the SMx rig). If the internet connection should fail, the host is expected to make good faith efforts to get back online as soon as is possible.
5) The computer must run and as a result, "Fold" 24/7. (Yes, the Team is generous enough to allow you to go on vacation and turn it off.) Keep in mind that 24-hour operating will increase your electricity bill by up to a few dollars per month. The Team expects the host to make good faith efforts to keep the rig running as much as is possible.
6) The computer shall fold for Team #93, under the user name of "SMx" exclusively unless it has been voted on to make it differently. The team can/will monitor the rigs output by way of statistics provided by Stanford, Statsman and the like.
7) In the event the host can no longer host the SMx rig or he/she is not able to run the rig for an extended period of time due to things like being called to duty in the armed forces for example, it is to be found a new host by normal host selection process.
8) What does the host get out of this? The pride of being able to host a SMx Folding rig, one of very few to earn this privilege. To be able to help Team Short-Media be the best team and the F@H project find cures.

- Short-Media.com, and/or its owner(s), and/or administrator(s), and/or moderator(s), and/or member(s), shall not be held responsible or liable for any losses incurred either directly, or indirectly as a result of hosting any SMx rig. The host selected shall bear full responsibility for said rig. By applying to be selected as a host, you acknowledge you understand, agree with, and will abide by these rules as set forth here and as may be amended in the future as required.
-Hosts must provide contact information such as phone number and address in case an emergency contact needs to be made.
NOTE; This entire project and the rules set forth above is/are based on TRUST. We, the team, trust that you, the host, will do all you can to keep the rig folding as much as is possible, in its name, for the Short-Media.com Folding Team. You, the host, trust, that we, Team Short-Media, support you in every way we can.
So anyone that can meet the requirements posted above and would like to host such a machine, please enter your name in the 'hat' and a host will be picked in a week depending on the number of entries.
Any other useful info like internet connection, hosting facilities, and experience would help the committee greatly in choosing a host for SM20.
The time has some to add your name in the hat.:)

If its possible could it fold under angel_heather in honor of Mtgoats Daughter?? if not its cool Ill still do it
"Just do it." -- Nike marketing campaign, circa ~1990
I'll bid for this one, seeing that forum staff members can finally get in on the SM action. I've got lots of plugs in the wall, a 24/7 cable internet connection and plenty of network connections left on my switch. I've been folding for a little over a year, with a 4 month hiatus during the summer. It would be an honor to host an SMx machine
You saying you need modding ??? WH00T!!! ill do it!!!! I got enough power tools to open up my own home depot! Actually i might put an App in at HD for a night job just to keep me busy so i can get my apartment and have like a real folding room with like 10 comps!

Rochester has cold winters, I don't pay utilities, and how's 5mbps down & 528kbps upstream to the far coast sound for a 'net connection?
So, I'm in, if you'll let me be : )

Jonesy, can you provide a connection for it when you aren't in the dorm or are you in the dorm year round?
SM20_Angel_Heather sounds good.
I can cover the connection at home (both cable & DSL, don't ask
I'd rather take it home though, I'd worry about leaving it out of physical reach.
that's not an option really.
But, as I said above, I was and would still plan on bringing it home with me, still with nice 24/7 'net.
Then you can monitor it with EM3 to make sure its running.
