    Thanks. The selection on usenet has been getting worse over the last couple years. I might need to switch and start torrenting or something.

    I tried it, but I don't think it ended up being a better deal than just paying for 3 months of access.

    You may want to try folding with the Chrome NaCl client. http://folding.stanford.edu/nacl/ or https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/foldinghome/hmnbjdgjgikbkapaolimfoidihobnofo?hl=en-US

    I run it on my work laptop when it's at home and out of the bag. It's a Dell Precision with a quad core i7 (hyperthreaded) and 32GB of memory. Hasn't been a problem over the last 10 months or so. It also only needs to last 3 years when it will be replaced.

    Workstation monitor?

    I bought one of the Korean IPS 2560x1440 monitors from MicroCenter a couple years ago. I've been happy with it. I don't think MicroCenter stocks them anymore, but you can find them on eBay and probably Amazon as well.

    Acer C7 Chromebook

    I got a HP Chromebook 14 for my Dad. His 5 year old Lenovo had numerous problems that I don't have time to fix. He tends to acquire malware, rootkits, viruses, etc very frequently, so I'm hoping he will never have an issue with that again.

    You could also try the NaCl client, it doesn't seem to affect my GPU folding with my GTX 650 Ti and it produces pretty decent PPD.

    It does look fairly small, though I bet it still generates a lot of heat. Plus, I just spent $400 upgrading this machine today. Maybe I'll consider it in a few months.

    I don't know if the case has enough room for a video card. It's an Antec NSK2400. It also has a Antec Basiq 450 watt power supply, so even if I could fit a decent video card in there, the power supply might not be beefy enough. Cooling might also be problematic. Are there any "small" video...

    My PPD may go up slightly. I replaced the motherboard, CPU, and RAM in my HTPC with an Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz. This system is just folding with the NaCl client. It seems to complete a WU about every 5 minutes. Does anyone know if I can do GPU folding with the built-in GPU?

    It has a large screen, but it's not nearly as large as a Samsung Note. It's screen is excellent. The CPU/RAM is about the best you can get on any current phone right now. To top it off I got it for $100 with a 2 year contract on Verizon.
