Anyone here doing Folding@Home on their PS3?

I decided to do a little PS3 stress test last night and left my machine running all night, from about 2AM till about 930AM.  My controllers were getting a little weak on power so I needed to charge them anyway (come to find out my digital camera uses the same USB cord). 

I ran Folding@Home alll night and the machine was bearly warm and still running fine in the morning.  Dont know if I will do it full time, at this point I can either have my PC on the net or my PS3, but not both (no router)

I did a scan with the WiFi just to see what it would find and it DID find a WiFi connection with a strenth of about 98%, could not get a IP address though.  I did not mess with it after that, dont want to get nailed by the ISP Police :D  At least I know the WiFi part works, just wonder if I really need a WiFi router (things cost $80-90 bucks for the fast ones) 

I usually do, but just for 20 to 30 minutes.

We should be able to listen music while folding

I always have Folding@Home running when I'm not using my PS3. There is no reason why PS3 owners shouldn't run the program during idle situations unless you don't have an internet connection or a router. On the Folding@Home website it talks about the power consumption for the PS3 running the program. Its only 200W

Its for a great cause and puts the cell processor to good use.

I totally agree with jams_shop, we need to be able to listen to music while doing it, cause when im cramming for a test I usually have my music on my PS3 going, and that would be a perfect opprotunity to do folding at home as well. Otherwise I'm all my PS3 alot and dont get a chance to fold@home.

Things I'd like to be able to do while folding:

Listen music

Chat with friends

Some kind of mini game, maybe high score motivated

Run F@H in the background so I can look at pictures and stuff like that, and if possible, watch DLed movies.

My PS3 has been on 24/7 since March 22 when folding at home became available and I havn't had any problems at all. So when I'm not gaming it's folding!

Can PCs and PS3s be on the same team?  I cant see why not but just want to be sure.  I just set up a team to test this.  I then added my PC and my PS3 to the same team.  We shall see what happens.  Only thing is my PS3 gets smaller workunits, the PC ones somtimes take 3 days.Zoomer30

Yes any one of the clients can be on the same team. Windows, Mac OS X/PowerPC, Mac OS X/Intel, Linux, GPU, and PS3.
