Dear MW participants, colleagues.

Growing electricity bills & quite a lot of noise, produced by all my systems, pushed me to shutdown them all.
There was a nice time, wishing all of you a good luck !
Yours,

Jet

You could of course buy an second hand ATI card and just run one machine, and still get more credit than you were getting. Just a thought?

That's a good thought. That's how I started with my first ATI; how it would allow me to shut down all but one PC, save the electricity, and still get me the credits of the combined PCs that I had turned off.

(Trouble is, I couldn't resist shoehorning an ATI into each of the other PCs becuase the ATI crunching was so successful.)

Hahaha, I tried that as well. My power usage is now up to ~3kW/h, running 17 GPU's. Now I am running Folding@home, as well, it looks like I will have to upgrade my RAM as well. Sheesh, I was positive 8GB per machine would be enough!

Given the fact that you've decided to stop crunching, I think it's nice of you to make the effort to say goodbye to the rest of us. Happy trails!

Good day all!
Although I'm not shutting down just yet, my $$$ situation has taken a turn fer the worse! It looks like I'll be going offline sometime in the next week or two!!(I need a miracle to stay online, as my Company Disability benefits have run out, the Gov disability takes 4 months to process"I didn't know this" so I'm living on $570CDN a month "Welfare") So I wish you all the best n' keep on crunching!!! ( Ice you can Grunch all my Wus ok).

I'll do the ones that Ice misses.

Bruce, my friend, that is indeed very sad news. Since working out my power usage up thread I am currently using about $100 per week in power. I might turn off half of my machines over the summer to minimise the cost (and heat output/aircon).

Hopefully you will be back in four(ish) months time?

Bruce, take a break but keep posting. It's always good to see you here. Thanks for the WUs, I will crunch them gladly and not give them up to those who think I can't. I'm a top 100 BOINCer now ;)

@ Ice
If/when I go offline I wont be able to post unless I go to someplace that will allow me to use their computer, I dont know many people that are geographicaly close enough to me that are online and would let me access the internet from there. Family would gladly let me use their computers but the closest family member is aprox 45 Km away, with no wheels I dont get to see them very often. I'll try to post when I can but it wont be very often. Hope Travis has MW up n' running when I come back, possibly in about 4 months but thats only a guess at this time, I will be back, not sure how long though. Anyway treat my WU's nice ok.
Bruce ;-p

Hi Bruce, The public libraries have 'free to use' computers connected to high-speed internet pipe. Maybe there is one near you ...

@ Nick
Yes this is true but the closest one to me still means taking a Bus!! Right now even Bus fare is a luxury.
