    wirthi got a reaction from Parideboy in LTT Folding Team's Emergency Response to Covid-19   
    Looks like they got overwhelmed, their servers ran out of WU's two days ago and after an upgrade they still can't keep up the pace it seems: https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=32424
     
    So I will be "donating" simultanously here https://boinc.bakerlab.org/ only with folding@home's priority increased (configure->advanced->folding core priority->slightly higher), so if they do happen to have some WU's free my PC can start working on them. And there is also an LTT group over there https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/team_display.php?teamid=12242

    Hey guys,
     
    this looks really awsome. Even more awesome would be a complete list of all the components used. This would also save you from replying to individual questions as seen above. And as a bonus you can also directly link these parts via affiliated links and maybe earn some additional money, even though I would not use them to buy since I am from Europe
     
    Edit: Don't forget the PCIE adapters and thank you in advance

    The case+the SSD is the bulk of the cost here.

    This is another option, though not perfect (prolly better/cheaper mobo/case/PSU).
     
    In other note, I pity the poor soul that has to add all 500 of the games to Steam.(Big Picture is pretty much the best 10FT/TV interface for PC gaming).

    Interestingly, Luke did video a while ago about how a 500$ PC cant really keep up with a Xbox or PS4pro.  That was true, because it was made while RAM and GPUs were at an alltime high price relatively...things have changes
     
    That was pre- ryzen 3000.  I can build a PC that is barely more expensive than a high end Xbox/PS, that beats it in framerates, and can ALSO stream, photo edit, video edit, and do anything your heart desires.  Their example was a pimped out version for a giveaway.  That doesnt mean you cant do it on a budget.
     
    Furthermore:  They are making content that is free for you to watch.  In which, they are giving away a sweet PC and games, that you have a FREE chance to win.  Free content for you all around.  And it was an entertaining video to watch.  Please get over yourself with your pearl clutching, and honestly you should apologize for your poor behavior and pants sh*tting.  Take a xanax or antidepressant and stop with the manufactured outrage.

    Getting both PCIe riser parts costs a total of around $25 USD.  I did a cost estimate for the whole thing minus a controller and it came to $1,944.60.  6.5 times the cost of a new console.  I don't know how they can justify the title of this video.  It makes zero sense.

    We create the ultimate console by building a sweet small form factor PC and loading it with heaps of games from GOG.com
