I spend a lot of time at that table... :) The dining area doesn't have a wall seperating it from the living room.
Pardon the picture quality, was in a hurry at the time.

Now, let's move back a bit in the garage and find out how packed Bob's garage really is.....:up:
http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s...gar1-09-08.jpg
No room for cars here!! Only room for tools and hobbies. A perfect male cave....I filled all the red toolboxes you see in this pic. It spills over to the shelves on the wall behind this, next to the farm.
For the farm, and to those who remember it's evolution, note that the mass cooler is still sitting on top of the cooler. The cooler has nothing to do with cooling, it merely puts the radiator off the ground....
Here's an earlier pic of me, with the earlier farm in the family room about 6(?) months ago.
http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s...farmerbob2.jpg
I will say the farm production is close to being optimized. I have found a combo that is doing really well. I'll share that soon on a thread. I'm running the same number of machines, but producing about 20-30k a day more on them....same clocks....! ;)
Where am I going with this? To here....
http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s...-finalplan.jpg
I want the right-most rack full of a minimum of 8 core Nehalems, preferably duals...(16 cores, can you imagine? :eek: ).....I'm just waiting on my friends at Intel....
Regards,
Bob
Please tell us more ... i'm very curious :)Quote:

Short answer, an optimized Vista 64 bit Ultimate with BOINC 5.10.28, running all HCC WUs. Page faults in the 10k region or less.....Compared to the best of FAAH, with page faults in the low millions, or the worst of HCC with hundreds of billions with 32 bit OP systems.....Quote:

You are awesome Bob!!!!!!
No, I'm not....It's all Dave's fault...Honest!! :D :rofl:Quote:

Nice setup 123bob :up: :yepp:
I really like your racks Bob, awesome indeed :)
:eek: Nice 123bob.
I'm also eagerly awaiting your optimized findings.
Mine is weak compared to some of the other guys.
http://www.needmoreboost.com/wes/room.jpg
CM690 is the Gaming Quad (see sig), the Antec with side panel off is Sammy (see sig), the Ultra Aluminus on the floor is workstation quad (see sig). Some other junk thrown in as well.
Mine is sold... :(
I'll see about getting some pictures of my computers at least (even if it is a RAZR camera). I don't crunch but that's only because I have no connection to the 'Net on the only rig that can.
Sometimes we have to do things that are distateful to us. We do what we have to.Quote:

The six on the right rack are cooled by the mass watercooler. That's a chevy mini-van radiator in the pic. This rack houses mostly my B3 chips. Hot stuff. This keeps them around the low 50s C with ambient around 24 C. I posted details on a thread some time back. It should still be around.Quote:

I keep having the same problem everyone else has. I end up with a leftover stick of RAM, or a PSU and then figure I have to finish off another machine...:rofl:Quote:

Main system - Quad-core/P5K Deluxe in Mountain Mods case.
@sierra_bound very good rigs :)
Thanks.:) Quad core and IP35 Pro running case-less.
Your system's are all very nice. :)
How well does that board overclock with a quad?Quote:

Girls are perfect!Food also :) We are good nation at all but our minesters only look how to get money in there pockets,not to do something to get out of this mud!
S_B,
Those are some sweet looking rigs. :clap: :clap:
Now about that SS in the background, use it much? :idea:
The Vapochill hasn't been used in over a year. Still works, but I think it needs to be re-gassed. I used to have a GPU cooler too (see pic below). Drove down to Los Angeles to pick it up from Baker18 who used to be one of the best SS builders. But I sold it a long time ago. Got as high as #4 on the ORB.Quote:

Looked like a bomb-making factory.:D
Just so happens that I am an HVAC tech so gas (ask my wife) is no problem. :DQuote:

I figured I'd get my fastest rig off the mobo box it's been on since I built it.
I'm putting it in my last remaining YCC-61F1 case and the 3870 I bought a little while back.
I love these cases! So many features and much space. I replaced the noisy but powerful Sunon
fans with Scythe 88 CFM fans; they're higher flow yet quieter. They have 9 blades vs the
Sunon's 5.
Got the rig back up and running. I'll finalize things tommorow. Then it goes into my bedroom and
kicks out my main machine back there and gets matched up with the 24" Acer. I can't wait to see how the Acer
looks attached to the 3870! :)

I love the way the case comes damn near completely apart. You can get at everything, plus it comes
with a slideout motherbard tray.

Two thumbscrews and the top comes off; makes it easy to lay the PSU in there and organize/route cables.
http://members.cox.net/vserl/psuycc61F1.jpg

Check out how much room is in there! A very deep case.
http://members.cox.net/vserl/roomybuild.jpg
looks nice , Scott !
Wouldn't it be better to mount the fan on the TRUE on the other side. So you have a push-pull config.
Thanks. :)Quote:

After snapping the pic, I removed the clips and went with a push instead of a pull. I figured in the case the rear fan would do enough pulling. I didn't like the way the TRUE's fan and the case's fan were so close. Plus, they weren't dead on lined up. Figured they might create turbulence, and end up with less air evacuating the case.
All I can say is WOW! :up: Great stuff everyone. This is more like a window box than a farm but it is what is and I'll take it. The office is a q6600 and an opty 150. The lappy is a T2450.
loonym awesome desktop picture of some suns?
lol, that's the boinc screensaver for the cancer project.
the one on the right?Quote:

rofl ... looking at it - it really looks like some kind of planet / sun picture :D
OK I finally took some pictures of parts of the farm today but the files are over 500K each, too large to upload. Can someone host 5 pics for me?
DDTUNG:cool:
can you use imageshack?Quote:

Victor,
I also can host them. Email wmiller at dataeclipse dot com.
DDT : I can host your farm, just send it here in Canada!!
;)
*Waiting to see the the pics*
The most eagerly anticipated post in the history of the WCG forum !
I wouldn't doubt if more people have waited more eagerly for things like Fugger's first crack at a E8400 or something, but in the DC forums here, this is HUGE !
I'm also waiting !
agreed don_xvi
Come on DDTUNG! LOL I Want These Pictures Posted. :D
Wes I'll take you up on your offer.Quote:

I had to take down the rig I just posted about to remount the heatsink. Was not happy with the temps.
Looking forward to cooler running. I used a metal washer superglued to the bracket instead of the cardboard I had been using. Hopefully that will results in an improvement. I'm also putting in my soundcard, a second HDD and mounted an eSata bracket to the front side.
Here's a pic of the eSata bracket under the front panel lights/buttons.

It went very well. Now I can get back to cranking it up to where it should be/was!
The temps weren't always as bad as the "before" screenshot, but when I initially put the rig into the case the HS got knocked around a bit.
A big difference... :woot:
