Shelnutt2

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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.
"but it was never possible nowadays to pin down any date within a year or two".... Actually EOC says "08.20.05"

If there was something recent that you did that you wanted your fellow team members to know about, what would it be?
I just got my score back for the AP World History test, got a 4.

What is your EOC (extremeoverclockers) stats link?
EOC

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)
Latitude 28°32'18.41"N, Longitude 81°22'44.56"W. Well thats city hall. This time of year I live in the Plywood State, The other 6 months I live in the Sunshine state. Florida. Orlando to be more exact.

How did you initially hear about F@H?
Well I remember someone was in the SMP section (here is the thread) Well actually him denouncing FAH and promoting SETI got me wondering what FAH was, I never really thought much of the SETI and FAH sections. So then from there I just one day pop by and get started.

After starting, why do you continue to Fold?
Well its a good excuse to leave my computer on, I've also had a few people I know get cancer, including ym grandmother. All have survived, but still.

What do you do for a living?
Professional student. Ok well I'll be High School another 3 years including this year, so I'll just say I tutor for money.

What do you do for fun?
Group of friends go to the movies, Build things for instance I'm currently piecing together a IR connection for my graphing calculator. I read stuff. Oh and did I mention games?

Is there anything special you do in your spare time that you really enjoy?
Well the little bit of spare time I have I spend being weird (go look at my first picture).

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?
Main folding rig? You mean my only folding rig? Well my favorite Rig is my new Conroe I'm building...but I only have a heatsink so far (Tuniq Tower 120). So for now I'll stick with my main rig. Asus PC-DL, 2 X 1.6GHz C1 LV xeons. (That was a mouth full) Oh and my C1's will boot and actually load windows at 200MHz FSB. I just need to give the ram more volts, cause even though they are 2.5 volt ram they need a tad more. Anyway next is my crappy ATI 9550, although It over clocks like made, Most I got was a 61% overclock on the core. 4 x 512 ram, (2 corsair, 2 kingstone value) 1 60 gig, and 1 120 gig HD. DVD RW+/-. Audigy 2 Value Sound card that is being a pain in the arse. I think thats it, if not look at my sig.

Do you have a Borg-Farm? If so, how many computers, and what are they? (CPU, RAM)
Well Borged my parents computer, if that counts? (530J, 1 gig or value ram). Oh and at the private school I maintain for service hours, they are going to be getting a server and soon lots of the computers will be going online. So I will soon have at least 4-5 more computers soon. I'll have a borg collective!

What are your future goals? What do you most want to accomplish with your life?
I want to graduate and get my IB deploma then go off and get my EE degree at a good college, maybe Georgia Tech?

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?
Well I'll say even though my uncle Works at Disney, I hardly go there. Don't know why but people always seem to think that if you live close to Disney you go a lot..but most don't. (or Universal or Sea World).
