Thanks Doctor Q; I'm sure it will help to get some new members and work on the second billion.

Yes, we appreciate for sure ...
thanks Doctor Q! we really appreciate helping getting this as a news story! it should really help get more members!
Woah! 51 new folders! We've almost tripled our folders from pre-billion. Of course it'll die down but still!
Really amazing this growth of new joiner ... Hope you all keep folding ...
I intend to. I turn it off when rendering and when playing heavier games. Once in a while I put the computer to sleep overnight since I feel it deserves a rest...
Although once I get my electric bill maybe my tone will change.

It will probably be the same as running the AC all summer long lol. If not more

Yup. As much fun the whole folding thing is; the power bill is not ...

Yeah I haven't finished off my man cave yet but I might just stick it down in the basement anyways and duct the Mac Pro into my return air. Heat my entire house more efficiently!

Yeah! Switch off the A/C, switch on the Folding rigs and GPUs you'll never see any difference in the power bill

I have a small office with my main systems I use for editing / creative content. With that, I have been able to reduce heating bills most winters by keeping the thermostat temp in the low 60s for the house, and only keeping the office warm (usually with a small electric heater). Since I have a Futon and some other light furniture in this room, I usually stop watching movies and TV in other rooms, and lock myself into this one for the winter months.
Keeping the door closed with normal lights and monitors on, kept the room near 78 degrees back in my G5 folding days! I actually have fond memories of the old folding days, as It was actually a winter from which I spent quite a bit less on power and natural gas.

Avatar? She looks quite friendly!
I'm about to deploy my new gaming rig. Will dedicate it to folding whenever AFK.
Here is a pic of the parts I'm about to put together. Waiting for the case to get here tomorrow. Last piece of the puzzle.
Have you set your team to 3446 yet? Last I saw your profile it was still set to team 0 which is the default. If you set it to 3446 any new WU's you do will go to the MR team. Old ones will not.

I couldn't see the pic am curious tho'
You'd have to use the bat signal (the report button). Otherwise they won't unless they randomly stumble in here.
To be honest I'd rather just see a new thread when new F@H news arises. It's not like this subforum is that busy anyway.
Hey, I remember the days of having a G5 by my feet roasting the hair off my legs
These new GPU systems sure give off heat too! But yes, it was amazing how quickly a G5 could alter the ambient temp of a small room.
I'm looking forward to my first folding-winter. Will be interesting to feel the positive side effect of folding and no bad feelings to open the window while the "heater" is running.

Something tells me your computer is built to be a cost efficient heater...
