Will I make it before the end!! Will I make it to the Team rank of 100!! That was my personal goal..  The answer.. Is no but on a good note I did learn some new things after this event and forgot this was the last day.. Was looking at 112 finish with the setup I had. After reading @Gorgon Guide changed that to 107 at the moment... so basically what im getting at.. If I had done this at the start then I think the outcome would have been a lot different.  Thanks all its been brilliant.. when this event ends I will be looking at tidying all this up and creating something a little better to continue folding.

@Adorable Cat Totally forgot about them!   Thanks for reminding me but that would then mean a purchase of another PSU..  
 
Please don't get all upset about be building a pc for a child that is 3/4 years old. Honestly you should be asking him as he is that head strong already reading and well.. gives us all a hard time.!! . So he already uses a Dell all in one that he basically is breaking as its overheating.... So I say this.  When I build this new pc .. I have an all in one Dell  touch screen  that I will give away to anyone in the UK who wants to collect it.. Im not posting it!!  It's to heavy! 

H200 is solid, I stuffed an R5 1600 and 980 Ti into one and it wasn't bad at all. Airflow is certainly better than the Enthoo Evolv mITX (I also have one of those). 
Hah! Not at all. My main rig started with a dual core pentium and 1050 Ti, later on I got an i5 2400 as an upgrade. Still kicked serious ass in the games I played (Battlefront II 2005 and KOTOR mostly), it wasn't till I started getting into AAA games that I wanted more horsepower. A 1050 Ti is a solid starter GPU (RX 570 is better if you were to buy new though), I'd pair it with an ASRock mITX B450 board (there's only one model, ez to find) and an R5 1600 or 2600 since those are pretty cheap now. Then you can just add a GPU later on when they get older and want to play the big kid games (the R5 1600 I had with 2933Mhz RAM kept up fine with a GTX 1080, which is 2060 Super/2070 level performance). 
 
Don't forget, building the rig isn't all about the recipient. I used a friend's need for a gaming PC to build him a custom watercooled rig sporting an i7 6700K and R9 290X. Did he need that to play CS:GO? Not at all, but I found good deals on the hardware, wanted to muck around with an i7, and do a custom loop, but I didn't have space to keep the rig when it was done. Turned out to be a win-win, he got a rig that is still kicking to this day, and I got the joy of building it. 

I've got a Thermaltake Core V21 and I quite like it, I'm sure there are better out there though.

My child does all the educational stuff, and is learning how to manipulate a 3d world at 3.5 years old, and understands PCs already - life goals, technology is the future.  I didn't learn to type until like 9th grade in our educational system.  I now sit at a PC for 80% of my work day.
 
To your point however, Arduino and the like is to much at the moment for her, and having a 2 year old as well.  In the plans though

Better than me, I just put parts together from the pile to make this for my 3.5 year old last weekend to do walking simulators in the living room lol
 
ASUS M5A99FX Pro R2.0, FX 8350, 2x Gigabyte HD 7850 2gb GPUs in crossfire, 16gb (4x4) Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600mhz, Sparkle/FSP 650w PSU, PCCOOLING 160w TDP air cooler, 60gb Patriot SSD Win 10 boot drive, 1tb WDBlack HDD, Rosewill Nautilus 1.0 case.  Logitech Wireless Keyboard and Mouse, Roku 55" 4k TV
 
 

YES!!!
made it back into the top 20 producers
 
Woop Woop

I've been holding off playing anything
I've had control installed and not even played anything RTX on my 2070 super lol
 
I have Red Dead Pre ordered aswell 
once folding month is done, i'm going to take my PC off for maintenance 
 
hopefully will have the 1070ti running in my sons new PC im building.
 
I've even stopped playing CS:GO even though it only lost me around 300k PPD

Last month I produced almost enough points to qualify for a gold badge by itself LOL

Im just going to leave this here. Its an old meme..it proves a point.. Apologies if I post it elsewhere HA!! 

Gasp, my dreams of pushing the near to the 100 Team position have been foiled ?. After following @Gorgon excellent how to Linux folding rig everything was on track as points went from 3.8 Mil to 4.6!! YAY ,
 
I thought I was on to a winner.
 
Then my eldest child (18!)  spoke and asked the question "Dad, can we play COD Modern Warfare at some point as its out now", My reply of course let me update the drivers on this WINDOWS 2080TI machine I have running.. Updated from what was some 2.6Mil PPD to a cracking 1.6Mil.. Nvidia driver 440.97..  I might sob.. or just whip out another HDD to see what happens when I follow that guide..   Sorry Son! 

It has taken a lot of restraint on my part not to give in ?
 
Thankfully, I've had Legend of Zelda:  Link's Awakening to keep me occupied for awhile and various movies to distract me further.  You have kids which are a hard mountain to overcome though, so you have a great excuse.

I forgot to do that at the start.  One of my systems is nagging me for updates, but the other is happy.  I let one update when I did some upgrades on my cable modem, which took about 30 minutes, so I bought myself some time for now.  The other will just have to suck it up for bit longer!

Yeah, I failed ? its not as if I downloaded it before I updated  ?

I feel for you.  I have COD just sitting there waiting along with a few other games, but I know they will tank my progress.  All of them are going on the back burner until the event is over.  Then, it will be time to finally update some drivers and play a bit.

Woop Woop
 

 
hit over 1000 WUs 
 
cloosing in on the top 100

Thanks @palespartanfor pointing it out and the really quick reply, my sheer laziness has made his post happen ?  @Gorgon I shall now do some reading and thanks for your massive efforts on the Folding@Home that got me interested as this yeah couldn't grow that moustache again as the lady does not like it..... Thanks all!  

FOR THE PENGUINS!  ?
 

Yeah, I've just given up and use US. Less keystrokes.
Thanks - as @palespartan said it is a typo and should be "apt-get" or simply just "apt" these days.
 
Correction made

Oh when using apt-get there is supposed to the hyphen in there. Its the same command either way. but if in the future you use apt-get just make sure to add the "-"

I can’t speak to any of those cards other than the 2060. My 2060, an EVGA XC Ultra Gaming, is a poor overclocker and with +45, which is the max stable overclock I could achieve, gets on a 14-day average 1030kPPD but I had, in the past with other friendlier mixed of WUs seen averages of 1100PPD
