I got everything back to running folding@home again, cranking out some work now that work units are being served somewhat normally again. That room is the warmest in the house!

Folding@home currently has more processing power than several top supercomputers combined, estimated to be between 1 to 1.5 exaflop of power.

Finally gave in and bought a mechanical keyboard, but it came with blue switches and holy heck are they noisy, I feel like I'm smacking on a type writer. Yikes! I'll have to order something non clicky for the main keys. It's kind of an adjustment for me but I can generally feel like I'm typing faster but I keep bumping the space key because of how I'm resting my thumbs. I don't think the dogs like all the noise from it though.

I've been Ethereum mining for about a year and gained a couple grand from it.
Currently building a RGB computer in a weird triangle case.

Needs things like a correct PSU (acquired and installed but not currently pictured), a real GPU, actual cable routing and management, modern board and cpu. The mid tier B450 board and R5 1400 are so-so even OC'd from 3.2 to 3.8ghz, best I have laying around. The GTX 650 with custom fan is for sure a slight bottleneck.

I swapped hard drives and chunked the swelling battery, still works otherwise.

I'm impressed! I don't even remember WHAT that laptop was, batteries probably aren't very pricey these days for it. i3 370m maybe? If it is the upgrade CPU is an i5 580m and those are under $20 on eBay these days, makes a pretty noticeable difference in everyday use if you still use it often/

It's a Dell, will have to check specs next time I use it.
