1. Lately I've become rather obsessive about checking Boincstats to see where I'm ranking on the team. Anyone else check them daily to several times a day?
#25 overall and gaining ground with 7620 RAC.
#21 in Seti with 3553 RAC
#6 in GPUgrid with 3004 RAC
2. Isn't SETI tax deductible? Don't suppose I could deduct that part of the electricity bill? From what I've read you can't deduct the work units or computer hardware because work units don't have a value. Electricity does. Torn between the electricity bill and the stats, my main rig is running every other day. $18/month is hard to swallow when you've canceled cable TV and copper telephone to save $
Due to owning my own business and my full time IT job, all my hardware comes off the top. Would be sweet to be able to write off the cost for power as well.
3. How do the older Phenom quads stack up for ppd compared to the C2Q and Xeons in SETI? Thinking about picking up a Phenom 9600 and cheap mobo as a server setup.
