What a great run all! Was that fun or what? Congrat's CMO for letting EP win this year, we have to let them think they had a chance, huh? All in jest of course. You earned it EP, Congrat's on the win!! One thing I noticed, we had a few hiccups, but no major hardware failures like a few contests we have had. Thank you to everyone!!!!!!!    To all the prize winners: When the picks are final, it would be helpful if you would PM the donator your shipping info. It will make the process run a bit faster/ smoother. Thanks!

Gratz everyone! Just in time too... Stellaris Megacorp update is out, and my comp will be too busy running Stellaris to fold much for awhile.  (the 2.2v Le Guin update is simply amazing, btw!)
 Have water, will cool.

Looks like both of my rigs decided to shut down right as the contest ended. I will be home tomorrow to figure out what happened.

Mark my words, by the next TZC I'll have more/better hardware to work with :D See also: mattresses are expensive, but at least I sleep well now.

remember the issue i had with my computer during the contest
well -it turns out a driver conflict with logitech mouse and nvidia drivers was to blame
i have to send a report to EVGA and nvidia for this one
it kept happening - i couldn't play any game more than a few mins before the mouse locked up - forcing a complete reboot
I changed the mouse with a m$ one i have on the other rig and - wham it works like a charm - playing non-stop now
nothing wrong with the other mouse it's on the other rig
also had a bunch of network resets going on/off - til i rest those drivers
Nvidia has got to get those driver issues fixed

(Went in just cause, picked something out cause I figured my luck is terrible but if I won, depending i'd use it for christmas.) Kudo's We were having issues with electric on my street, and when that got fixed I was behind.. then had a random issue with my sound card not wanting to work... Had to trouble shoot that along with work. I got in what I could tho after all was said and done. Glad I could help! Thanks to all the people who donated items. :)

Thanks! You know STR1D3R_2 is local to us too. Met him too, both you guys are very cool indeed. If the winnings stand as is, we will now tomorrow for sure. You can swing buy the house on your way to work. Or I can drop it in the mail, or meet up with you somewhere. See how it shakes out.

Worst excuse for reduced Folding performance ..... " my Sound card not wanting to work" With the new Sound card you just Won - Next TZC your PPD should triple

notfordman pointed out an issue with the results - nobody got the fans he donated. I tracked it down to a stray comma in one of my files, so I had to reprocess the picks. Fortunately it did not change any of the existing picks; just one new line:
*32. yodap wins 2x EVGA FX13 Fan 140mm donated by notfordman
I think at this point we are good, so if the prize winners would please PM their prize donors with their shipping info, things can get sent out. Congratulations everyone on a great TZC!
