Taking a break with folding.

Hi.

I recently have used a lot of my computer's for folding, and my parents have managed to survived the noise and power usage from them to now. My dad asked me if I could possibly turn down the fans a little to keep it more silent, and he also asked me how much power the computer(s) was using. He went out it would cost him 150$ a month to keep only the i5 rig on 24/7, so he asked me to turn them off. I understand his thought's, and that's why I want to bring this to the forum. I will sell my i3, i5, and Alienware i7 rig for the sole reason for me not using them for anything but folding (which I had to stop) I will more likely buy a more powerful machine, with a more modern i7 (either 1155 or 2011), and get a more silent and up-to-date rig to replace those three. I will take a break on folding, mostly because it's taking much of my time fixing and keeping the folding computers running, and I am starting high school this year. However, I will use my new rig to fold for the team when I get time, but at the moment, that's where it is.

Thanks for everybody who read this, and good luck with the team. Don't you worry, I will be back soon!

Tough break Crispy, but good luck on selling the systems and building out the new system. Will miss your input to the team totals. :)

Cheers!

Shame you had to stop for a while but on the bright side maybe building up a more powerful and silent one from the money you make from the other 3 will make a better lifestyle too less noise, less money out and more space? (That is if you are selling them to build a new one haha)

Can't wait to see you get back up in the team rankings though.
