(Ok, I've had a lot going on and have been pretty MIA, but I've been wanting to do this for a bit now so I need to just get it out there and get it moving before it's too late!)
 
Bottom Line:  We need to get our numbers up for [H] will take us in the next 30 days, and it seems that we shine our brightest when there is something up for grabs to work toward, so I am going to throw some prizes on the table over the next few weeks with challenges and milestones that need to be met.
 
The Deal:  Starting Monday, I will begin to throw folding related challenges out with prizes on the line to win; the challenges will range from team PPD output to things like highest increase in PPD percentage over the span of 3 days, etc.  To pull this off I will need help from you stats folk, and I also would like ideas for challenges so don't hesitate to give ideas. 
 
The Prizes:  I have some laptops listed on The EVGA Call to Arms Challenge site, those will be given out as well as some other items, I have all sorts of items that I am willing to part ways with if it means we are all striving and putting out our best effort.
 
Participation:  You need to be signed up for The EVGA Call to Arms Challenge and be folding at least 10k PPD average (My challenge my rules - 10k average or better)
 
The Catch:  You will pay for shipping of the item, I will be giving away hundreds of dollars (possibly more, we'll see) worth of items; I am fortunate to have these items at my disposal to do such, but I do not have hundreds more to throw around for shipping.  We're not talking high cost, it's $10 to ship a laptop via USPS Priority, and if I give away a server or large item it will be local pickup and the challenge will be tailored around such.  I will give the shipping cost of the item with each challenge/prize listing...  I'm sorry I can't make it completely free (I would like to), but I can only afford so much...  So, you end up paying $10 for a laptop, whatever... 
 
Take Away Items for the Reader:  Do what you must to fold 10k a day or more, sign up for The EVGA Call to Arms Challenge, give me ideas for challenge milestones, volunteer to assist if you can help with stats or something that I may not be thinking of, and save your pocket change for shipping money... 
 
That is all, I will post the first item/challenge on Monday so get your machines ready to fold becase (hint) the first challenge will be team PPD based, I will expect to see a bump of a few million, and maybe I'll give a few items out for that as it's a team effort... 

i need to buy at least a 560ti just to reach 10k ppd and join the contest. :(

blkhole, you're the best!
Folks, I've already won a laptop from bh and frankly I'm still amazed that he offered it up in the first place, and now to see him offer up many more, is unbelievable. I use mine all time.
I recuse myself from any future laptop gifts from blkhole. Servers? that's a different story.
To assist you blkhole I'll pick up shipping on the the first 4 lappy's.
Fold on bros and sis'

You rock sir! 

Everyone:  So long as you have a 10k PPD average you're eligable (not everyone can fold 24/7, just do what you can as every bit helps), and I may even do a lower PPD bracket contest at some point (it's just difficult as my criteria will need to change to stop dupe accounts trying to increase odds and folk from other sites loading up one machine in hopes of winning HW and taking it from true EVGA folding members), but remember that the premise of this is for all of us to push our hardest and for our overall output to rise to meet or exceed [H]'s output so do whatever you can to increase output whenever possible! 

I am inn for at least 50k PPD :D

If I happen to win a laptop I donate it back to the contest . Blkhole its ppl like you that make this community rock .
Thank you so vary much

Dang, that SR-2 can't get here soon enough.....

Man, H is still closing in. 
 
>.<,  I don't suppose any of our members have access to a nuclear power plant.  We could come in after hours and move all our gear and some portable air conditioners into an unused room.  Kind of like that room that appears in Hogwarts. 
 
What if we cure cancer, but induce the melting of the polar ice caps!?

BlkHole, That's awesome! I appreciate your dedication to the team and most gracious offers!

Sweet, these 80** projects reduce my PPD by alot though D:

Same. And they're kind of slow.
 
I'm only getting in 1 WU a day. I've only got one 450 GPU in, computer BSODs if the other 450 is in. I'm folding away anyway though I don't make enough for this challenge of BlkHole's, http://folding.extremeove...ry.php?s=&u=557295 but that's okay.
I also decline from any winnings, not getting enough PPD aside.
 
Fold on!
 
Side note, Madrias would probably like this challange .
Sad Shy though, I haven't heard from him in over a week.

I signed up, but I was already in for the long haul even without a contest.
As for the laptops I'll pass those on to someone that can use them more so than me.
I do have a T7200 folding & it makes avg. 900 PPD & I see a T7200 up for grabs.
I can help who ever gets that one as I found a program to lower the core voltage & still
be stable with much better temperatures.
Now if any 1366 CPU are prizes I'm in for those as I could use 2x right now to better the cause of keeping H off of us.
Good luck everyone, lets keep this 1st place.

Depending on the mobo/chipset your laptop has you can BSEL mod it from 2.0 to 2.4Ghz... 

I got just short of ~2k w/ Ubuntu, but more most folk these will just hopefully be browser machines to keep their folding machines folding. 

I'd like a link to that mod. 2.4 sounds good.
Well its a Toshiba P100 w/ i945PM chipset & I was wrong on the PPD output.
It had just started a new WU & gave some low PPD count its actually 1700 PPD with these A4 WU's.

Yea these are like 9hr wu's on my 560Ti reducing my PPD to like 13k D: used to be like 20k at least.

 
Yeah though they're slow I prefer them to the 76xx WUs I was getting, they lag or lock my computer up to a stop so I have to stop folding when I get them.
 

BlkholeShy - What exactly is wrong with the machine?  Sounds like to motherboard is unhappy or something?  What are the specs on your current setup?  If I have a mobo that fits your CPU I can send it your way.  It may end up being an HP or Dell mobo w/ no OC options, but it wouldn't BSOD. 

 
Yes it is a problem motherboard. Thank you for the offer , I'll PM you... (YGPM after I've posted).
