I wish I could put mine in a shed but down here in the south the tropical climate will destroy them (like my tools) unless there is some sort of climate control. This weekend nature will be supplying its own form of climate control with a high on Sunday of 0 F. It has been down to -20 F in there and they just continue to run. High temperatures coupled with high humidity would very probably wreak havoc with the components over time. Cheers

First the good news. I finally made it to just over 100,000 results for MCM1. Now for the not so good news. I had to shut down a couple of machines because my electric bill was just getting too high. Once I can shut down some of the heat lamps as the weather warms, I will put them back on line. Maybe this will give me some incentive to invest in more efficient machines. Crunch on.

Congrats Joe.
---------------------------------------- My westmere processors are not to bad on electricity. Would like to upgrade but the newer xeons prices are just nuts. Considered selling my dual xeon setup for the new 10 core i7 coming out but $1000 is a bit expensive. Hoping the 8 core will drop some.

Congratulations to the team. We have now surpassed the 8 million mark for results returned. If I get a chance I will post a little analysis.

Here is a little chart I came up with to show the percentages of points, results and time for each of the projects. Let me know if this is at all interesting. The chart date is February 13, 2016.

Well, you are coming back when the temperature is going to be in the 40's. March weather in February. Might even be a thunderstorm on Sunday.
