    because the processors aren’t going to do much more then 100-200 I don’t see any decent t40 series but you can get one more CPU at a pretty cheep price. Under 50 bucks on ebay for the MB/ PS with all the parts you need would be great for the numbers game!

    Basically just screw it to a board put a HD on it plug it up and make a crunching wall heater.

    Anyone know if any of them came with any Video Card that would crunch?

    Ever feel like you might be spilling to much out onto a web form?

    My T42 running Win7 32-bit on PG's PPS it gets 1434 credits per day. While that's no comparison to the 35K or more my i7 950 processor can get on PG's PPS, it still isn't too shabby. I'd never go out and buy a T42 right now, but if you have one laying around, an extra thousand credits and the ability to crunch QCN isn't all bad.

    Yes just like that, a couple years ago I had one hanging above every plug that had 18" of free space above it. It was cool when I was single. Woman always thought that it was weird. When they moved in the computers went into a little rack thing. The currant hasn’t ever put anything on the walls; maybe I should reclaim them I dubbed them “Functional Art”. Always great for conversations on how a computer motherboard on the wall is really fighting cancers/ aids exc.
