    Very nice gesture Bcav.
    To be clear, 2GB ram per cpu? or 16? 8x2 maybe?
     
    I'll start thinking on ideas.

    That is awesome BCav, and I think the stipulations are perfect.

    Fantastic Bill. I will pass on being able to win since I am set for a while.
     
    One Idea is who can find the most primes this Oct 3 challenge, or who finds the first prime wins.
    There is a very good chance someone will find a prime number.
     
    Or put peoples name in a box and draw a name, win that way.
     
    Pick a number the closest one to guess wins.
    Or pick a number from 000 to 999 and pick a day to come closest to the pic3 daily lotto number . If no daily number in your state NY has a daily number lotto.
     
    Post pictures of their GF and the one with the best looking GF wins.
     
     

     
    Life is too short to carry a cheap pocket knife.

    bill1024, Names in a hat that do run the World Space Week Kickoff Challenge this and then pick to simple.
    Maybe the one how finds the most Prime Numbers could maybe work.
    Then again they would have to run under our EVGA Team Name with the time line above as well.
    Yea for me this is a hard one for me.
    Thanks Bill

    Not sure I've been quite that active on Boinc this year.

    Does it come with a case?
    I'd love to plug that thing in 24/7 in my computer room crunching all the time depending on its heat output.

    Amazing bcav, truly generous of you..
    Shame I am out of the running.. but a challenge will still be interesting to participate in...
     
    Maybe limit the amount of cores that can be used to 4, or 8 as some others do not have the cpu cores than many others have.. just an idea..

    Thanks for clarifying that.
    I'll be taking myself out of the running also, because I could not run it 24/7 as it should.

    No, Finding a case for this size MB is not so easy. Spent most of Sunday taking this down  4P

    Or just let me buy it!
     
    On a more serious note, great idea sir! Love the thinking.
     
    On a different note, I truly am thinking of looking for a setup like that to place in my garage to run 24/7. I also have a 780 Classy to add to the mix in hopes of cranking some serious crunching again now that we moved into our new home. I have a two tray server rack that is empty other than two PSU's...

    Here was an idea I came up with this week.
    On Free-DC Each users has a web page (That is if they set one up) Your CPID page on this page you will find this "Average Team Rank across Projects : "Number" as mine show today as 5.09302
    So my thought was the First Team Member to Reach 4.0000 or Lower wins.
    Or is this to hard of a Goal for users to meet?
     
    What do you all think?

    I think it is a cool idea, but as I have watched my score it takes quite a bit to move that number down (especially if you have done a high number of projects. Correct me if I wrong but to have a great impact on that number I would need to run projects where I do not have many points in. For example I am ranked high in rank for pogs but in Einstein I am 50 something. To lower the "Average Team Rank across Projects" I would need to run a lot of that project in order to get that number lower.
     
    It seems as if you run only 2 or 3 projects and rank high in them - this number would be low.
     
    Correct me if I am missing something.

    robbysites, no you really are not wrong. I just reviewed our top 20 users and the low is 8.xxxx and normal is 9.xxxx I may also have missed someone.
    I will keep thinking of a Giveaway though.
    Thanks though for posting robbysites.
