Before you get all that free computing equipment, you might want to consider what the electric bill for 170,000 credits/day looks like. :)
You don't need so many computers if they are state of the art at all times, to get high numbers.
If I take a look at my collection of computers I need a lot to get high numbers, because a big part of my equipment is 4+ years old.

You know you can't use GPUs in any challenge until the December challenge, right? (Unless someone's been getting really creative with sr2sieve.)
Will be at least December before I get the funds and time to upgrade anything unfortunately. Wish I had a HW-supplier who would deliver the latest HW for free in large containers on a regular basis ;)

I had a great vacation, but had a lot of work waiting for me when I got home. Missing network-access was the least of my problems. Had to reinstall all of my compute-nodes. But everything is up and running again finally.

Lucky me.. Go on vacation for a week, and my ISP cuts contact on day two. So no challenge for me this time. Will be back in force for the next one :) Can't let my cores go to waste too much. Hope to be able to upgrade with more cores and maybe som GPU's for the next challenge.

I hope there will be a lot more work available when the challenge starts. I have a lot of cores waiting for work. Even today in my prep-work to download the sieve-files most of my computers get the "No work available for the application.."
Good luck everyone !
