2000 Work Units!
Quite an accomplishment for me with Seti considering that in the first 3 years I managed less than 200...
Then I found my way here to the DC Forum and TeAm! My computer was in serious need of an upgrade, so with the help of the forums here at Anandtech, and some good advise from the gang here, I was able to upgrade my computer, and constructed a fairly good cruncher. I didn't have alot of funds to work with, so I shopped and compaired and asked alot of questions and eventually built a good overclocking machine (check the sig below). When that was complete, I set a goal of "1000 before the project ends" and succeded with that goal. I had offers from a few other crunchers to help me get to that goal, but I wanted to get there on my own and on February 20th, I made it to 1000 WU's.
Today, I completed my 2000th WU. I don't have access to more than just 3 computers to crunch with, so I'll never get the massive numbers some of you guys are getting. I have my main computer, and the old one, which does 1 WU every 20 hours or so, and a friends computer, which doesn't run nearly as often so I get maybe 3 or 4 WU's every other week. So, here I crunch, steadily along at about 7 per day average...
I think I'm going to step back a little. For awhile, I was consumed with this, and found myself not using the computer for some of the things I used to, for fear of losing the memory bandwidth for crunching. I'd like to hope that soon the funds will be there so that I can build another system to add to my "farm", but we'll just have to see. I'll still be crunching, and won't stop what I'm doing with the machines I have running, but I can't let this consume me like it did. I'll be here all the time checking stats, but probably won't race anymore.
In the mean time, I want to sincerly thank you all for your support and encouragement. Like I said, it wouldn't have happened without the contacts I have made here with TeAm and Anandtech. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!
KEEP ON CRUNCHING!!!!
