Oh 420W..... Hm.. I don't know if running PS3Grid on a video card can be sustained by your power supply. You'd need a minimum of at least 500W. If your PSU burns out on you, it leaves your other components at risk. You could look into a 8800GT.. but I don't know if that PSU is able to handle a Q6600 and a 8800GT on full load. OK, thanks. Was worth a try. I'm not going to do a power supply too. Hehe. You can get a 8800GT and try it. That's the best video card I'd get for that kind of PSU. It'll run you $110 at Newegg. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130318 Cool ... that may work. Ordered it from Amazon ... $7 more but I get free 2-day shipping. Thanks again.   |

Welcome back DM! Just got word my quad is being delivered Thursday. Now to see when my sons will be available to help me hook it up (can't do the lifting, etc.). Then I get to find out how I fare on Vista licensing -- lol. Hey Dave! I'm sure yours will be just fine. I think mine was "made on a Monday" and someone took an extra coffee break.  The machine is performing fine ... just under the HP's but it runs considerably cooler than the HP's. It was easy to unplug that irritating light too.  Well, min shipped Friday -- wonder if IBP is plagued with payday lunch problems -- lol. Yeah, it will be lights out on mine as well. Don't want to try to sleep in a room with a blue beacon lit and it will be in my bedroom. You crybabies. A little pulsing neon blue light never hurt anyone! I leave mine on for a bit of "mood lighting" if you know what I mean. |

You crybabies. A little pulsing neon blue light never hurt anyone! I leave mine on for a bit of "mood lighting" if you know what I mean. Not a little light. You could put it on a revolving base and use it for a lighthouse there in "Ba-ston". |

Good morning/afternoon MOT. I've everything up and running here. @Jonathan/Blizzie: If you will give me a link to the best vid card I can put in this PC I'll join Jonathan at PS3grid with it. I like the one science project. The nvidia card that came with it (GPU/VPU: NVIDIA GeForce 7050 ) does not appear to be compatible with PS3grid. Back to the grind ... it will be "interesting" to see what happens to AIG today.  Your quad will produce 6k+ points a day solely on graphics. Then add your cpu's contribution and BOOM! mega results. |

Mine has a temperature gauge on the front which is a big blue LCD screen that lights up literally, my entire room in pale blue light. |

Watts and heat may be a problem. I plan to start just running PS3grid on the card. Then I will add Q6600 crunching and see what happens. I may not be able run both (if at all) until cold weather comes. Remember this machine has a lot of "brothers and sisters" in close proximity to it. See you at PS3grid Jonathan!! |

Let me know if you need help setting up the project. It's a little bit complicated, but you're an old pro anyway. I'm sure you'll be fine. |

I am sure I will have questions for you as I am exploring a technology new to me. But h3ll, exploring new tech was how I got here in '04. |
