Wow, I know what mouse and headphones and desktop wallpaper you have, maybe a shot of the keyboard? xP

Here's my lowly home network.
 
Just set up my SuperHub2 in Modem Mode for the first time, using it with a DNSMask to my LAN so I can use Deep Packet Inspection.
 
Fu**ing love Ubiquity Networks products.
 
Wireless clients not shown because it'd be annoying to add them all.

Guys, I just found an old but gold image.
 
Feel free to make some memes with it pls.

Total Storage: 16 TB
 
Hardware
CASE: Fractal Design Define R4 (No Window)
PSU: Corsair RM 650
MB: Asus M5A78L-M
CPU: AMD FX 8350 Black Edition (8 Cores, 4.0 GHz)
HS: Hyper 212 Evo
RAM: 32GB DDR3 1600
HDDs:  4x 4TB WD Red
Software and Configuration:
Running Ubuntu 14.04 Server Edition with Plex Media Server, Owncloud, and Deluge Server with Web Interface

Usage:
My household uses it for media transcoding and streaming (we have around 4 people in home all the time)
The high RAM amount is because I had a ton of extra RAM from an old custom-pc building business I had that I never got rid of when I got a new job.
Plex runs like a pro, we're running Deluge on there for seeding and leeching torrents.
Owncloud backs up our critical documents and photos.
Backup:
None, this is our backup
Photos:

Ah, haven't done any CPU only mining, but if you're doing BOINC or F@H, GPUs would do a lot better.
 
I'm restricted to vCPU's due to Google's Cloud Platform, but if I had access to GPU's with this credit, I'd surely use them.

Now in the top 100 for the team.

Ah, well I can't do much tweaking since they're all virtualized.
 
Hit 10 mil today btw

Hey, guys. I've got around $96,000 of Google Cloud Platform credit that expires next April and there's no way in hell I'm going to be able to spend it all by then.
I've only spent 4k since this past April and that was because I accidently left some huge instances on.
 
I just started a 16 CPU server folding on the team and am going to see how efficient it is.
 
If it proves to be efficient, I'll allocate 10 x 32 vCPU servers to fold continually, coming to 160 CPU's folding for cures.
 
I can probably leave those running all the way to April, and as the deadline for my credit approaches, I'll throw more servers online until I burn through all the credit.
 
Just wanted to let you know, you'll see my username 'ericvolp12' showing up on the team page pretty soon I hope.
 
Great to be part of the team
 
 
UPDATE: My PPD looks to be around 70k per server. I'll wait til tomorrow to make any decisive actions.
I'm creating a cluster template now so if I want to, I can roll out an automated cluster of these servers to scale when I want them to.
 
Is 70k PPD any good?

2 days in, rank 400 on the team and climbing...

You can always run Tron Scipt if you want to get rid of everything that might be causing trouble.
You need to reboot into safe mode (by pressing f8 when booting and selecting safe mode with networking) to run it properly and it takes a few hours, but it cleans absolutely everything cruddy or virus-y off your computer.

Hahaha, thanks, I appreciate it.
I'm at 1.2-1.3M right now around 28 hours later.

Oh, okay. Thanks for the info  
Yeah, they're only CPU's tho, 256 2.5Ghz cores of Xeons.
Probably astronomically cost inefficient, but hey it's free to me.

Your image isn't loading for me

Well, the enter key on a US keyboard is a 'Return' key on the UK keyboard, takes up one key width on one row and then two key widths on the row above it, where the second keywidth of the US enter key usually is is a key with the tilde and # symbol. The @ and " keys are also switched.
The left shift is only one key wide, the \ | key takes the place of the second keywidth.
That's about it.
