And just to be on the safe side I've put my two computers next to my mini fridge which keeps them nice and cool k:

im not sure about that!

the fridge just moves heat around (from inside to the outside) so it should be a bit hotter near the fridge, if anything!

also because the fridge needs to let the air at the back heat up, if the computer is heating the air near the fridge, the fridge has to work harder to keep itself cool inside!

He's right you know, fridges release more heat into the outside world than they take away from the inside. In fact, if you opened a fridge in a room and kept it open it would actually heat the room up!

My mate overclocked his PC a while back and it was running at 47c or something like that, recently stuck it next to his window while it was open and dropped the temperature to about 37.

Edit: oops forgot the stats

We're moving up a bit slower now but I reckon within a week we'll be in the top 10000 for total CPU time. Sadly I can't provide any more time until Monday as I'm going on an exciting residential course with music to the coldest place on earth and will be living on a diet of flannels...that's what the food tastes like anyway.

Sounds like a thrill, bring candy bars, I say. No chance of leaving the computer on?

Hmm, you might have a point about the fridge, darn...
I have no way of knowing the temperature of my computers, but from being in the room I can say it's not too hot. They should be all right...

I'll be resuming my contribution to the help suqad in aproximately 12 hours with a total amount of 4.4 GHZ CPU power.

Go clock, go!

[Amiga]

Hmm, back and everything should be resumed. Though my buddy managed to, in one hour, corrupt everything on my server's hdd and make it start with software failure on every reboot. Formatted, lost a bit of progress, it'll be fine now though.

Go Abandonia Help Squad!

Keep up the good work guys..

Keep helping it k:

Listen to this, a real story is going to be told...
Once upon a time... wrong one!
Found it, so let me begin.

Yesterday, I was on my comp. doing my buissnes, with my tools...
In mean time the Rosseta project was doing her calculations...

Suddenly a big wolf arrived... wrong story again, I meant the power was shut down, AND all my 7 h of CPU time were lost!!!

EDIT: Added 1324 points to the team, few days ago...

[Amiga]

Right. I don't know what to make of your story, but points are nice, so good job!
