    Nice looking system, madmat. Welcome to the team.

    After you get some time under your belt with that system you will start trusing it more and will leave it on while you're not around. I've been running a watercooled dually for over a year now and it stays on 24/7/365 while I'm home or offshore at work. The watercooling system I have on it is stone cold reliable; Eheim 1250 pump, DD waterblocks and 1/2" silicone tubing secured with small automotive type hose clamps.

    Does the fact that I'm an insomniac help?
    I hardly sleep so it stays on unless I'm out of town or I'm working on it.

    I just went into my console to find that I've been blessed with a 2500 segment wu. It seems to be working through it in blocks of 25 though and I'm through 400 out of 2500 in just a couple of hours which is funny considering the last 3 I did were 400segment wu's and they took 24+ hrs to complete.
    Craziness.

    Hey Mat, look through your log (FAHlog.txt in your install dir) and note the numbers of the 400 WUs that you folded, then take a look at http://folding.stanford.edu/psummary.html
    and match up the number. I bet you those 400s were tinkers.

    You can also do a quick calculation to determine how fast you are folding. Using these numbers,

    [14:44:50] Writing local files
    [14:44:50] Completed 1125000 out of 2500000 steps (45)
    [14:53:15] Writing local files
    [14:53:15] Completed 1150000 out of 2500000 steps (46)

    I'm able to determine that it takes me 8:25 to complete a frame. Multiply that by 100, than divide by 60 and the result is the number of hours it took (Or will take) to complete that WU.

    Now, just watch those stars change color, then become cogs, then the glorious helix!

    Beats watching the leaves change color! ;)

    Sorry I missed this!

    Welcome and kick yer shoes of an set a spell. :)

    I've been to Russellville before. Nice place and not to mention it is in the pretty part of the stae. ;)

    Yeah Russellville is nice but I used to live in Mena in the western edge of the state out in the Ouachita forest and it gets downright beautiful there during the fall.
    My folks still live there (they retired there from CA in '91) and they have 6 acres right in the heart of the forest in a town called Big Fork (population 60 someodd) and they love it there.

    I live in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley here in Virginia. The view right now is stupendous. Though I live in an apartment complex, it's right on the edge of a huge undeveloped heavily-wooded area. My dogs and I spend about an hour each day walking through the woods.

    I didn't say I didn't like leaves - just that I love watching the colors in the sigs change. Plus: it's a year-round view!

    The number of steps doesnt really matter when looking on how long it is going to take, as you have already pointed out. Just look at how long it takes to do one percent which is inside the ( ).

    I wonder if I could put a computer in one of those little refrigerators, like the ones in hotels.

    You could, but it would be useless, you'd have condensation everywhere, and it wouldn't cool anything because the cooling output of one of those fridges is far lower than the heat output of a computer.

    This is not one of the better ones I've seen, but you can do it.
