As mentioned in another thread. Its simple, post a pic or two or three of your "farm". Even if its a laptop (levi), we're all interested in seeing what everyone's running.
I'll start:
Home
http://www.needmoreboost.com/xs/uhoh.jpg
On the right, 3x P2/P3 Xeon Servers. In the back, C2D e6600.
Work
http://www.needmoreboost.com/wes/myoffice.jpg
Well my laptop is in there, along with my work machine and the other one i'm running at work.
not quite a farm but I'll post a pic anyway:

i've only got a few stalks of wheat on my farm :)
right now i've only got an (old, old, old) picture of my main box. If i ever bother finding batteries for my camera, I'll snap a fresh one as well as one of my router.

(the front is no longer ugly; it looks normal. 3 optical drives, drive bay covers, and that bottom portion has its grill back on. also, the hardware inside has changed, but thats another story)
present guts: 3800x2 at 2.7ghz running 1 instance of F@H, x1900GT running an instance of F@H (needs some CPU time too, hence only 1 cpu instance). Averages around 500 PPD in F@H :cool:
it'd be running MJ12 if the client wasn't so buggy these days :stick:. i miss that 2-3M per day :)
Here is mine:D
And here;
top=3
Bottom=2
Names below.
You know it's serious when the guy needs 7 damned pics to show the whole farm!:rofl:Quote:

Mike,
Just open the attachment and copy the URL then put [ img] infront of the URL and [ /img] behind it. Just take out the space i put in before "img" and "/".
Like so:

2 ways: you can upload them to the XS server as long as they are under 200K each or get an imageshack account(free) and upload to there, check thumbnails, and then link here and your thumbnail will show.Quote:

Mike thats a hell of a farm. It seems like you planned to build that many rigs. There are not just "old" PCs recycled to do something useful :)
Are you married?

And yes, it was planned, I have been working on it for about 18 months.
I am out of room and will mostly upgrade to dual core or 939 from now on. I would really like to have 150Ghz working:D
No wife, she left 25 years ago:D:D. One outside dog and an inside cat[avatar] that get "overclocked" occasionally. He's 10 years old:)
Impressive mike to say the least..
Id like to see a pic of DDtungs

just ask them if you could give them a presentation about what WCG is!!!!! the worst they could say is no. try it!!!! what if they say yes!!Quote:

It will also give you the chance to bring it out in your converstion with the site admin. Just register the machines under XS_companyname, and show him the WCG device outcome as proof of "no errors", etc... or even better register the machines under XS_admin_initials. Who knows, he may get hooked.:)
guys this is for a MAJOR Airline...............they would not go for it.
The IT guys I work with are also contracted as well. The Primary IT (Bunch of paper pushers) would not even hear it................but to fantasize about it..........hehehe waht a tease.
Just that when I first walked in the room that was my first thought............
Yeah so I am a geek.
If I can get the pics off my phone I will post them here. Three stacks of PCs just laying around............muhahahahaha
send them an email! you would not even have to talk face to face. tell them that it would make them look good to the world:D :D and that we will always use them if they do it:D :D

Speaking of farms.
Cheapo 1.6ghz duron
@18$ a chip and with some cheapo boards and cards, just 512 stick of ram, wonder how many systems one could put together for really cheap. Talk about dedicated cruncher, not a lot of points, but not a alot of money either.
Hi Vodka. Who manufactures that grey/black case? It kinda looks like a Chieftec I have but it is even larger than mine. Lotsa room over the PSU in yours'. Obviously you then modded it for the WC apparatus, etc. But who makes the case?Quote:

Hey Phelan, I use my PDA to transfer pictures off my RAZR. bluetooth rules! if you don't have an ipaq surely some other geek in your dept has one!
I have quite a few computers here, and I thought I'd show a few of them.
I'm a single guy so I can basically put them anywhere. I have four in my dining room; two in cases on one table and two set up, caseless, on another table 90 degrees to my right.
In cases...
~ an X2/3800+ in an Ultra-D, cooled by a Mach II. Running a little north of 3 GHz.
~ an Opty 175 in another Ultra-D, cooled by an Arctic Pro 64, housed in a Global Win YCC-61F1. That case is one of my favorite all-time cases; aluminum, extremely roomy, extra wide and deep, uses 120mm fans. Running around 2.5 Ghz.
On the glass table, caseless...
~ an X2/3800+ in an Ultra-D, cooled by a TT Big Typhoon. I'm pretty sure I damaged this chip when I first got it; it runs at 2320 MHz.
~ an E6600 in a P5B Dlx, cooled by a Thermalright Ultra 120. Running with 2 GBs of Patriot PC5300. Right now, it's running at 3510 MHz.
Those are the rigs I have running in the "front" of the house. I also have an E6700 in another P5B Dlx, setup on a coffee table, in the living room, about 20' from these rigs, but it is going back this Saturday. Kind of a loaner... :)

In a bedroom that is overloaded with way too much crap, I have four other rigs running. The room is a disaster area, but based on the ( somewhere ) above mentioned theory it is definitely productive.
~ bottom left- an X2/3800+ in an Epox NF3 board
~ on the far right, in blue, an Opty 165 in an Ultra-D
~ to the left of that, in the Antec with the "front" off, an A64 3800+ in a Biostar t6100 board
~ in the back, can hardly see ( well you can see its' red DATA data cable :) ); a n Asus PC-DL DX board running LV Xeons.
( I really should clean up this room, but where do I put all that stuff? :confused: ) :)
http://members.cox.net/vserl/07.jpg
Okay, a few more.
In my bedroom I have three rigs. I have an E6600, in a Gigabyte DS3, cooled by a TT Big Typhoon. Usually it runs with 2 gigs of Team Xtreem DDR667, but as I needed a stick for the "loaner" in the front of the house, it is currently making do with 1 gig. The rig is currently caseless.
Then I have what I call my "main machine of the rear of the house". No good reason for the name, other than when I'm online or whatever, while back there, I'm on that machine, as it has all the harddrives, etc. It sits on the left side of my desk. It is an X2/3800+ in an Ultra-D, cooled by a Thermalright XP-90. It uses good old BH-5.
To the right side of the desk is what use to be my main machine, or at least the case used to house my main machine. The case is a Coolermaster ATCS ( 201 ). I bought it along time ago, and I love the finish and style of it. Right now, it is serving as just a palin cruncher, but with a really zippy Opty 165 ( Ultra-D, TT BT, TCCD ) in it.
Thats' all. For now.
I have more, but need to take pics.

Guys. May I ask something if you don't mind? How does the Mrs / GF let you get away with this in the house? Kind of a bit messy to say the least. Man, she would have major words. Just curious.
RAMMIE you should really get a few cases :)
And I thought I have seen dusty pcs before, but yours tops all of them :)
Furthermore you are running all HDDs upside down, which is still not recommended. You can turn them 90degrees around in any direction, but running upside down aint that good for the long term..

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...1&d=1161354458
The while thing in the middle is my Monster DIY projector.
The gray PC on the right is my GF's PC, Opteron 144 @ 2500Mhz 1.375V. Too bad the board is limiting me, could do 2800Mhz with 1.4V on my lanparty :/
The one in the middle my surfing rig consisting of a Biostar Tforce and a naked S754 Sempron 2800+ @ 2850Mhz 1.55V set in Bios, 1.51V real.
The one behind it is my gaming rig. E6600 @ 3.6GHz 1.4V - 4GHz 1.6V
A closer look:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...1&d=1161354458
2 of my HDDs recently died and I was able to get one of them semi working again, which is why there are many DVDs. Used them to abck up the files I was able to recover
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...4&d=1161354458
Here are my AXP based systems. Just recently replaced the 1.6Ghz Duron an a Asus A7N8X with a A64 3000+ which is running in a different room.
The black one on the left is my good old 0308 XPMW 1700+ DLT3C running at 2300Mhz at 1.6V.
I could never sell it :)
The silver Shuttle is my HTPC, well at least it was before it started crunching.
That was the fastest Shuttle at Sudhedian.com (or whatever that shuttle forum page was called, cant remember).
I was kinda pissed when I got the unremovable black screen issue after 10hours of usage. Had to wait 3 weeks for them to fix it. After that the soundstorm didnt work, after the Shuttle was laying in a shelf for a couple months.
After that got kinda angry and did some mods:
Cut out the rear grill for a push and pull config, did my first vdimm mod, placed a fan below the drive bay, so that fan is blowing directly at the rams and NB, removed the stock NB cooler, lapped it (was 4 days of work, I will never lap ceramique again!) and placed a Thermalright NB1-C on it with a selfmade mounting. That TR was as expensive as a cpu cooler :fact:
But the result was really good. I had 72C load temps before the mods and after them 45C, which was more like it.
Was able to run 250*10, which was the max of the Bios. Didnt know clockgen at that time, so I will give it a try again when I have the time to.
That Shuttle mainboard surprised me, it clocks better than my unmodded NF-7S.
Now you know why the Mrs. isn't a Mrs. but an EX-Mrs.:DQuote:

hmm, 150 times $2200.00 =$330,000.00

Currently i use
p4 2.0gig / 512mb ram at (my main work pc, so its only running at night)
ive also set up my new 2.8gig p4 / 1gig ram for work (so this will be running at night and the 2.0gig will be on all day)
athlon xp-m 2500 @ 2gig (ive got a crap chip) / 1 gig of ram at home which is on while im at work
phelan1777, nice that setup - 1500 pc's at work ... use a few that will deployed last ;)
at my workplace im in charge of building and setting up 500 .. 3gig xeons with 2gig of ram :cool: but unfortunatly i cant use any :(
VERY good point! I get machines in for work and sometimes there here for a couple days.they work when they are here. Your basic cheapo P4-2660 will crank 1500 in a day..Quote:
