Connected Internet: Playstation 3 Supercomputer And Joining Folding@Home

  • Zath · 2 years ago
    At one point I had about 3 computers folding all the time, but got then got out of the habit of setting it up again af re-formats. I should really get back into it given I often have at least a couple of machines going at once.

    Seem to remember I used to be part of the Custom PC (magazine) team, presumably I'd still be with them.

    Have you thought of starting you own Connected Internet team? I suppose it would depend on the level of interest as to whether it's worth creating.

    I'm all up for starting a team if we can get a few more people interested, but at least we can count on your 3 PCs ;-)

    I used to subscribe to CustomPC as well in the year before I built my PC - I think from issue 1. I ended it though once I actually built my PC and also once I realised all the content was available for free on the net.

    I'd hate to be in magazine publishing as it was a hard enough industry before, but the net must be killing it now.

    I was in a similar position, subscribed to Custom PC for a year, then cancelled once i was happy with upgrades. They must have a real small dedicated bunch of modders buying the magazine on a continual basis i think.

    It takes a month or two for the articles and reviews to appear on the website, but that's not a problem unless you're in the market for something - in which case you could just walk into WHSmith and check out the latest A-List products - not that I'd such a thing of course!

    This is really interesting - I have always been fascinated by linking massive networks together... cool reference article Everton.
