    With folding, is it better to have a single fast CPU and graphics card, or to spread it across multiple cheaper graphics cards? I'd also get the best PSU you can afford, say 80+Bronze or better; if the machine's on permanently it should pay back the difference before too long.

    Bit-tech / Custom PC magazine have a very active specialist folding forum:

    Actually it's just better for CPU folding now, GPU folding just costs too much for little gain
