~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Again, Thanks for taking the time to allow me to interview you.

When did you join the Team? Approximate date is ok if you don't know the specific date.
January 5th, 2006

If there was something recent that you did that you wanted your fellow teammembers to know about, what would it be?
I just finished the spring semester at school and I got my first ever 4.0 gpa for the semester! I also just started work on my folding tower! Gonna take a month or two to finish though.

What is your EOC (extremeoverclockers) stats link?
http://folding.extremeoverclocking.c...hp?s=&u=123155

You do not have to give specifics (address), but what State do you live in, and if you don't mind telling, what town? (town is not required, but if not a town, a general direction and distance from the nearest 'big town/city' would suffice)
Norcross, GA about 10 miles from Atlanta.

How did you initially hear about F@H?
I first heard about fah from the front page article/invite around last December/January.

After starting, why do you continue to Fold?
First, I believe in the program and am confident it will make a big difference one day. Second, we have a truly awesome team! I feel I would be missing something very special if I was not a part of it!
I'm also a points-****.

What do you do for a living?
I'm self-employed for now. I do all kinds of random computer work for a few small local businesses, and I'm a full-time college student.

What do you do for fun?
I go to a lot of concerts, play with my computers, play with my cars, I party a good bit, and BORG!

Is there anything special you do in your spare time that you really enjoy?
Believe it or not, I really enjoy school because I pwn there!

Time to spill your guts. What are the stats of your main folding rig? Why is it your fave? What all do you use the rig for?
I don't really have a favorite, but if I had to pick it would have to be my 940 rig. Antec p150mid-tower case, Asus p5ld2, pci-e 7800gtx, 4gb corsair XMS2-5400. I don't really use that rig for much but light gaming. It was really a drunken impule buy, but I have to admit I do love it.

Do you have a Borg-Farm? If so, how many computers, and what are they? (CPU, RAM)
I have around 35 borgs: 13 or so are folding at my house, and the rest are distributed at various offices in the area, and a few in Florida at a client's office down there. Most are p4s and celerons with a few AMD rigs thrown in.

What are your future goals? What do you most want to accomplish with your life?
First I hope to transfer to the University of Georgia(go dawgs!) and finish school there. Maybe get a business license and start a REAL business. I really havent' planned much past that yet.

If there is something you want to tell the team, then spill your guts! What have I missed in my questions that could help the team learn more about you and who you are?
My sig isn't lying, I really did pick up a girl once after checking the folding_monkeys stats on a computer at this party I was at. She got all curious and I was tellilng her all about it and I ended up taking her home! It was the damndest thing I had ever seen.

I'll try to get some farm pics to you as soon as I can find them

LandShark · 07-25-06, 09:28 PM

sno.lcn, great work on the 4.0 GPA!!!

wow, using F@H to pick up girls is the first I've heard of.... but hey, it works right?!

sno.lcn · 07-25-06, 09:34 PM

*Update: I'm sorry to say I don't have that 940 rig anymore, a friend wanted it and the price was right so I (kinda) upgraded to ap5wd2 and 930 currently @ 4.02ghz.

As promised, here's some farm pics:

The tower:

The 930 & Ultra-120:

The rack:

More compies:

cuda340 · 07-26-06, 01:29 AM

Nice to meet you sno.

Good job on the tower and good luck filling that bad boy up !!

Fold on !!

dwschoon · 07-26-06, 10:47 AM

I would think FAH would have the opposite effect with most girls. Nice to meet you. As always, great interview!

muddocktor · 07-26-06, 12:17 PM

It's great to meet you, sno. I also really get a kick out of you picking up a girl with F@H.

Also, that's a nice tower you are building too and I can't wait to see you finish with it.

Oric · 07-26-06, 01:12 PM

Good to know a little more about there sno.

Fold on!!!!

ihrsetrdr · 07-26-06, 04:36 PM

Glad to meet ya!

Nice looking farm too!

WarriorII · 07-26-06, 10:33 PM

Another fine, outstanding member.

harlam357 · 07-27-06, 09:16 AM

Great to meet ya sno!

Ahhh, the college days.... I do miss them. But since you're a UGA fan I do have to say one thing... "WAR EAGLE!"

Is that a TR Ultra-120 on your main rig there? I've been looking at getting one myself. How do you like it?

pscout · 07-27-06, 10:56 PM

Happy to meet you some more sno

I have told a few women that i fold but it hasn't resulted in any offers

... including my wife

I imagine you might be thinking of going rack and caseless with all those farm rigs and folding groupies around

And good luck with the schooling

... although it doesn't sound like you need too much luck... but it never hiurts to have too much!

Fold on!

kudos to LS
