yes I did it I let it run when i go to vacation so it can run 24/7 actually it doesnt hurt aslong as your system is ventilated my PS3 never gets hot no matter what I do.
I have the experience that if you never switch of your electronic devices they never break. And I tried that a lot my PS3 runs 24/7 my TVs run 24/7 my notebook my other notebook also (for 3 1/2 years almost no breaks) also my 5 year old (79 Euro) CRT I switched it of for 5 weeks once and after switching it on again it just switched off again or the screen blurred. Maybe the problem is not the heat but if you switch on and off the stuff it wents from cold to warm and thats what damages the system. If your Electronic is not getting to hot and is on a steady temperature then they will run forever imo.
on topic again. Folding at home is really a good thing every PS3 gets a simple model of the folding process it takes approximatly 8 hours to finish the unit. A unifinished unit is as good as no unit.
In that time your PS3 makes ONE simulation all simulations from all over the world together result in a model the data will be used to see a protein faltered in real time. Which is a really important thing. it can help to understand how the faltering works and how the humans can influence the faltering. If humans are able to influence the process they can do hundreds of things. Cancer is just one thing of them and not even the most interesting.
