From the "that didn't last long" category: will be stopping folding for a while - got hit with some huge bills this month, so folding's gotta go
Will continue next month, though, so no big deal.

Sorry to see you go. Hope you've voted.... (I sound like I'm canvassing for votes now!)
How do energy prices compare - Lithuania vs UK? I think we pay ABOUT 11-12p (sterling) for a kWh of leccy
What's the price locally? We often hear reference to "rip off Britain" but from my experience inn working in Italy, France, Portugal, Ireland and Holland, we're actually not as expensive as we're led to believe. What does stuff cost up there for energy? Likewise, how do PC components prices cost? Do you buy them locally or from Germany/France etc?

I have indeed voted
The price is around the same - 10-11p of your money/kWh, depending on the conversion rates. PC components I think are a bit more expensive, but not enough to make it worth paying for shipping from Germany, for example (just checked, a 2600K price is almost identical ). Only if you want something more elaborate, e.g. water cooling - no one stocks any of those, since it's quite expensive, so the only choice is have it shipped.

It really has been a slow month following that rather "exciting" Xmas. Think everyone is suffering the January blues.... or just broke!

On the plus side I've restarted SMp folding and am getting bonus points already which is nice. So extra 5kppd for me or so.
Well I posted >21k points in a single day yesterday which I think is a record for me!
Ooh, and looking now (I'm clever so I put a link to the full stats in my signature stats, would recommend it) I'm about to sail past my weekly record, too.

nice!
Argh! My work computer must have rebooted itself at some point towards the end of this week and I didn't restart my client
Damn it, that's over a day's folding lost: and now I've ended up stuck with a hella slow 250k unit that's only getting me 2.5kppd (according to HFM.NET, anyway). *sigh* it's all just typical really, isn't it...
It's all for the good of research Jim! You've been drawn in by the numbers!
I've been drawn in by not paying for the machine or electricity, more like
Still tempted by a 605e though...
I know what you mean Jim.
I'm not sure how but I am hanging on to the 100kppd at the moment.
In other news hexus has probably completed its 123456th WU!
Passkey off = 470PPD
Passkey on = around 2000!
Thanks for the advice (many pages ago - this thread is going strong )
Still a little way off 100k PPD though!
I think you need an upgrade batman, may I suggest a 980X and 3 GTX580s all for folding and then whatever you like for gaming?
Don't be silly - nothing can be folded that fast!
