Welcome aboard Cappy

Welcome to the team fellow Folders!

Whole new world - had the PNY 430 - then went to the GeForce GTX 460 FPB - all my system will allow.  Had to even get a new power supply.  Already looking at new cases that will keep things even colder.  So this whole idea of folding is impressive - when I don't game I fold.  Starting a new business soon then make a leap on the GPU.  First does anyone have any suggestions on a case?  Great to be here and for a great cause GO TEAM

Guess now instead of case the word is chasis.  Wow what a learning curve.

First off, welcome aboard!   I think you'll find all kinds of wonderful & helpful people around here.
 
As for cases, the HAF X always seems to be mentioned as a good case.  Here's more on it from the EVGA hardware forum.
I've also heard good things about the Corsair Graphite 600T series.  Also comes in sexy white w/ a window!
I personally am happily using the CM Storm Enforcer.  It has intake filters, decent airflow, and won't break the bank.
If you're looking for watercooling, here's a thread with suggestions from the EVGA overclocking forum.
 
Cases seem to be a personal thing, so lots of people will have lots of opinions on what's the "best".  But in the end you should decide what features are important to you and how much you're willing to spend.
 

Well I just though I would say I finally got up and running.  I'm not much for messing with a bunch of settings and files and etc, so I just kept it simple and DL the v7 client from the F@H site.  I am pretty sure its not using my GPU at this time, but I'm not to confident in getting it to work, so I await the client update.  Still my estimated PPD is about 16.5K, though that will drop on gaming days, this being my only rig currently.

Welcome to the team, if you need me to come visit and set up you rig I can fly to Hawaii to do that.

Its funny how many people offer to come see me now that I am stationed in Hawaii....  Can't imagine why...   

Alright, I couldn't take it, so I followed the guide and got my GPU up, well, as up as it can be till they update it.  Now showing 40-43K PPD.
