Cooler Master will show 5 systems in 1 at CeBIT next week

This would make for a very nice farm

Only five Q9400s? I'd like to see 10 in a single chassis with 1-2 PSUs. It would be even nicer (for crunchers) if the ITX boards were the ones with the onboard CF slot--so that nobody has to worry about having hard drives spin, instead just having a bunch of 16-32GB CF cards. Run XP64 or Linux 64-bit without a swap file...

rather see one with 5 Gainestown systems in it!
Beautiful wiring job they did on that system!

[Mr_Slinky]

Any idea on the price of that system, about 3k?

Ummm Bob ... unless each node had a metric a$$load of RAM they NEED a swap file/partition to run BOINC.

[Jaco]

Where can I get one

4GB DDR2 800 is plenty, I'd think.

[Blauhung]

and windows embeded with write filter turned on, that would be super fast

Can i make one for free? Plz?

Intels lga775 mini-itx boards cost 80€/ea and those supports quads

one 750w psu should feed enougth power for 5 q9650s.

For cooling 1U apogees and 2 120.3pa rads

The rest is just childs play.

Nice and cheap in the USA, and some can even be overclocked. I think minimum is $45 for a board--if not it's those $60-120 GeForce 7100 or G/Q45 boards from Intel. Maybe even pin-mod compatible.

39.99$ for nf7050 board....

I demand someone to send me one of these!!

I have this board: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813500012

It's pretty nice but the NB gets VERY hot, even at stock settings only running a Celeron 430.

Even with a single E5200, they're awesome prices for tiny little boxes. Heck--seeing how they're doing this so easily, an E5200 + GeForce 7050/7100 + 2-4GB DDR2 is in range. But again, I'd like to find a motherboard with a CF reader instead of a hard drive. The interesting part is this is the type of crunching project a lot of students could afford... now if only this motherboard was available... on a side note--the Zotac site says that all those i610/i630-ITX boards are C2Q compatible. So $45 for one sounds like a really good deal.

Mini ITX and quadcore overclocking ? Too good to be true I'm afraid.

Just use a CF -> SATA/PATA adapter.

DX sells those with under 5$

True, but it's added bulk. Heck--could install Windows on a USB stick... 8GB sticks are pretty cheap now. The question is now where to get 20/24-pin ATX and 4-pin 12V splitters.
