I think that you can tell when I got the T7400 online.

I added a liquid CPU cooler to my list for the F@H machine. So far it's a $350 upgrade to the old machine. My sons are going to be trying to trade me out of it, I'm sure
Well, these folding machines you guys built are also very nice gaming machines. I don't blame your sons for wanting to get some time in with them.
SatGuys is now at #92 and climbing. Just a day and a half until we squelch the Ham Radio Operators - Team. 
Call Amazon and they will adjust the price for you. Amazon is awesome!
Didn't I say that??
If your item has already shipped you can still get a refund of the difference if you contact Amazon within 7 days (item must be sold by Amazon, not a third party seller): http://www.groovypost.com/howto/request-amazon-price-change-refund/
Daggummet-- Was fiddling with wiring getting things ready for the T7400.
My main machine was 8 mins away from dumping 80K, I set it to finish.
Then I accidentally un-plugged it.
Plugged it back in and it brought it up and said 97% complete, but would not take back off to folding, no matter what I tried.
Sooo, I thought well I can reset again, but decided to just re-do the wiring and then turn it back on....well it picked up a new core and is singing along with it.
Note to self, next time after hitting finish, don't touch anything else!!!! Until last WU is sent!
Oh well back to folding.

Welcome to the big leagues gentlemen.SatGuys is now at #92 and climbing. Just a day and a half until we squelch the Ham Radio Operators - Team.
Anyway I have two dedicated circuits running to my computer/ham radio area.
So I just dug out the tools I need, a Sawzall, wire, new 20A breaker and 20A receptacle.
Just got done in the breaker box, now I have another dedicated home-run to this area.
While I was at it, I pulled two more home runs and wired in two more receptacles, but didn't have another spare breaker.
So after I run to the supply house in a day or two, I will have 4 dedicated circuits to one area.

I see Nvidia has a driver update today. What is the procedure for doing GPU updates when folding? Does it waste a work unit if you update when running?
Just to be safe I would hit the finish button to let your current WU finish but prevent the client from starting a new one. Then do the driver update, restart the PC, and let the folder go to work again.
That's the safest way to upgrade. The other way is to hold off until you have a good reason to update, like some specific fix for an issue you're seeing. Otherwise, I don't update NVIDIA drivers unless I need to.
Same thing with the OS updates; I try to avoid them as long as possible. It's not like my Folding Liar is accessing the Internet on a regular basis (except for Stanford).
BTW, my one GPU slot was dead in the water this morning, something about being unable to DNS resolve assign-GPU.stanford.edu to get a new WU. I rebooted the box and it eventually started Folding again.

I had a WU that wouldn't send the other day and I sat there watching the point total just evaporating away while it was trying to send. It finally got through.
