    Hey guys! Got a favor to ask of all of you. http://forum.notebookreview.com/roundup/641438-nbr-amazing-content-contest.html ends Feb 17th. I have a Thread I created that is in the competition. Please Rally your support and vote for the NBR Folding@home thread! The NBR Folding team has grown to 50 members strong and have folded over 11,000 work units. We have surpassed 10 million points. We've made it into the top 4% of teams worldwide since starting approximately Dec19th. Please take a min and vote for the F@h team. And if you want to join in the medical research and lend some resources, please feel free to join.

    You lurkers who have accounts, VOTE! You know who you are! :p
    If you don't have an account, please register!

    The contest is linked above and linked in my signature as well. There are quite a few Alienware systems on the folding team, and they are putting down some big numbers.

    Thanks for your time and support. Now vote! :p

    Dan

    Done, good luck to you too, oh btw, I always have this question lingering in my head, which is what is Folding @ Home? I always want to ask this but cant find a proper sub forum to ask.

    I would suggest you to temporarily remove the image in your signature so people could focus more on the VOTE text and maybe bribe them with rep or something but thats just me XD

    We've managed to pull a small lead on Toughbooks! Now we need to really pull together to beat the eGPU thread and open the gap on toughbooks!

    Good morning ladies and gents! NBR Folding@home (F@h) is now in second with a 9 vote lead over panasonic toughbooks! Lets keep up the momentum and see if we can move into the lead! We are 20 votes out of the lead and I think we can do it! but we can't do it without your vote! Get out there and let your voices be heard!

    Even if you don't vote for F@h, get out and vote!

    Sorry DR, I voted for ThrottleStop right at the start and can't change it.

    I'm hoping to start F@H very soon... your guide has been incredibly helpful and informative about the process. Best of luck!!

    Thanks guys! Your awesome! We've managed to pull a decent lead, and if we can get more voters, maybe even come close to eGPU. That would be a heck of a rally!

    Definitely join in if you can, It's fun just to see how the systems do. My R2 if it's uninterrupted can pull in about 20,000-25,000 Points per day. :)
