Rudy,
Yes, I agree that they provide an exemplary service.
However, I'm not following the connection to our Kickstarter project. They serve up projects; our intent is to blueprint an optimal platform for processing project data.

We truly hope to get input from as many perspectives as possible prior to beginning the...
H2co32,
With great respect, we simply disagree with you.
Wuprop@home lists general, and very broad BOINC performance stats for individual components. We know of no source that documents the optimization of a complete computing platform for the BOINC client (by platform we mean hardware...
Thank you for the replies -(blunt or not) ;)
With respect to the hardware suggestions, please see the rather lengthy comment on the kickstarter site. It explains that this is a "typical" list of hardware and explains a few of the different ideas we have for using different components in the...
