tazwegion Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 how many pc's do you need for a farm anyway I reckon 3+ PC's would sound about right! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
camaro_dude15 Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 sweet im up to 4 about to be 5, two of those are laptops that arent worth mentioning and an old dell, but a folding farm none the less, but considering my ppd and how much they have dropped scince giving my brother the 1055t build, it seems like less Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To build a "guilt free" F@H farm based on a multiple laptop format powered exclusively from a solar charged battery network (this also involves moving to a significantly warmer climate) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedCrazy Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 how did that happen! 24/7 folding. On a heavily oced i7930 with 2 heavily oced GTS 250s, significantly rising room temperature and causing air conditioning to be used. It was a very noticable difference on the utilities bill. It was fun while it lasted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyt Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Lol my dad doesnt set me a limit but tells me to not let the pc idle in the game pause menu since it loads the system fully and guzzles power . When I game overclocked , my room turns into a sauna lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
