I use my PS3 sometimes as a heater for my room at night lol. I usually leave it on for 4-9hrs or so and i love that new automatic shutdown feature on it. The music also really isnt that bad to listen to. I hope they add in like rainstorm, thunder, and rain forest sounds eventually lol so i can just listen to it before sleeping.
Mine's been going pretty much non stop since it came out. Other than bouts of gaming and occassional power outtages it's been constant folding. 754 work units completed and counting. :D
Lol, I guess some people just don't like contributing to medial research at the expense of wearing down their PS3. I've kept it on 10 hours before when I went to work. I also keep it on for the 8 hours I'm asleep.

I do that as well, even though it doesn't release much heat after about an hour of folding.

Folding without turning PS3 off? Almost 2 days straight. I use constantly for gaming :) Only when im busy with college does it manage to fold for that long
ive been going for a year now non stop as soon as folding @ home came out i started up my ps3 and its been running ever since no breaks have not turned it off once its been going 24/7 everyday i have all most 800 folded now i think
I'll try to remember the name, if your log into PSN right now. Just add me, OrinBoyd *look at the siggy*
As for the 1 unit, I'm new to the folding home myself. I guess it's just research for Stanford, but it's doing it for a good thing. Just think of it as giving money to the homeless, You're helping them out by feeding them.
As for Folding@Home, Leaving on system and donating energy for research is helping them find a cure? I'm just saying whatever comes out of my mouth now, I hope someone explains it better LOL
lol. I need some new games. Ive played Call of Duty 4 maybe 30 hours total and im getting pretty bored of it. And ive already beat uncharted,and im already half way through it again. Those are the only two games i have,and i have no money too buy some games,so i guess im screwed for now. :(
I'm glad that I still have Unreal Tournament 3 to play online. CoD 4 is still fun, but I'm starting to grow distance from it. I just bought The Darkness today, boy I must say It's pretty good.
Did you add me yet? if not, I'll try to remember the name.

Taken from my PS3 FAQ Thread (linked in my sig - check it out sometime)
"What is Folding@Home?
Since October 2000, over one million CPUs throughout the world have participated in this distributed computing project. The goal of this project is to research protein folding and misfolding to gain an understanding of how these are related to disease. Targeted diseases include (but are not limited to) Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and many forms of cancer. Your participation will help accelerate the understanding of these and other diseases. For more information, please visit Stanford University's Folding@homeTM website located at: http://folding.stanford.edu/. The PS3TM system's Cell Broadband EngineTM (Cell/B.E.) processor will dramatically add to the computing performance of the Folding@homeTM project. Folding@homeTM on PLAYSTATION®3 utilizes the RSXTM graphics processor to provide a real-time visualization of the folding behavior of proteins. The locations of PS3TM systems that are running Folding@homeTM are displayed on the world map that is visible in the background. It's nice to know that you can be curing cancer and other diseases when you're not playing your PS3 :)."
I'm kinda ashamed to say this but I've only contributed9 1/2 hours of Folding from my PS3. I will do my best to remember to contribute more in the future.
