My farm. Post yours. 56k warning in effect!

[Sparky]

Well I'm going to retire a few this week, can't afford the electric to keep them all going. Thinking of selling the two HP boxes and maybe also one, maybe both of the core 2 duo boxes. Then with the money raised see what I can replace them with that is more power efficient and see how close I can get to the output of those 3 or 4 boxes with 1 box that uses a fraction of the power. That Athlon X4 640 pulls about the same power as one of those HP X2 4000+ boxes does, yet has faster clock speeds, a little better architecture, and 2 more cores. Pretty cool... so who knows I may replace the 4 dual cores with a couple quads and call it a day. Will compare cost/output of an i7 and an AMD hexas too.


As far as the nicest in the cardboard, well, you try and find a case for that weird motherboard

[D_A]

Tin snips, a drill, some taps and a tin full of stand-offs and you'd be amazed how many cases it will fit!

muahahahahahaha! Franken-casemods ftw!

[Nirvash]

Main farm update, The Dell and the other computer on the lower left I ran for super computer week, can't afford to keep them on.
On the lower right are Crunchers 2 and 1, and above them is Sammy 1.

Cruncher 3

Two new Sammys I got last week. Low on proper heat sinks, dremel + random Heat sinks + zip ties = Cheap yet effective cooling.

And to follow slaveondope, heres the Bonic Tasks screen.

Here is mine:


From left to right:
Work laptop [2 core], personal laptop [2 core], Arima Beast [off, 16 core], other work laptop [2 core], Home built AMD tower [4 core], Dell 2650 server [off] and Dell 6650 server[8 slow cores]

Gah! It's ... TIDY!!

[retro77]

Gah! It's ... TIDY!!

Ya, I, uh likes the velcro a lot! I take pride in my cable management, given how many systems are here. I'll have to put up my entertainment system.

[Sparky]

I have this dream of a nice tidy 48U rack with all my crunchers in 4U cases inside. That would be lovely

[Origin_Unknown]

I was wondering if this thread was real of not

Anyone got anymore / any updates? I would post half mine but i've got to goto bed

[[Ion]]

Might as well post what I have:

Rig 1: i7-2700k @ 4.4GHz + GTX470:


Rig 2: AMD X4 965BE @ 3.4GHz

I'm decomissioning this one soon, but I'll be replacing it with an OCed i7-920 when I get my EVGA X58 back from RMA

Rig 3: i7-860 @ 3.4GHz + 2xGTX460 1GB


Rig 4: i7-3612QM @ 2.8GHz (this is amazing, it does ~3.8k PPD for 44w DC or ~60-65w AC)


Not shown I also have a Pentium Dual Core T4200 and Core 2 Duo T9600 (both stock)

BOINCView of everything except the X4:

If you cut a piece a cardboard the size of your PSU, you can put that between the mobo and the PSU and your cruncher will take up less space potentially allowing you put another cruncher or two in there

[werdwerdus]

[shoota]

Mother of god.
trololol

[Mydog]

What I got at the moment:

SR-2 with 2x X5690's @4,390GHz


MVG and 3770K @4,7GHz


Gigabyte UD5 and 3770K @4,6GHz


Ye old faithful server, P6T7 Supercomputer with a 970(LGA1366) stock speed


And trololol
Rampage IV Extreme with 3960X @4,8GHz and a few 680's

Hey pal, How you doing?
Still out in the jungles of Borneo or back amongst the civilized folks?

Compared to these farms all I have is a small vegetable patch!
BUT I don't know if you've seen this one yet:

Doin' fine Dave, hope you are the same. ......Borneo? nah ...haven't been there in a while...current location is back in jungles of Papau New Guinea ..... hope to be wrapped up in about a month...... if it ever stops raining.


Yup, that SM is a beast!!!!

Hi from Dry-stralia down south from you.

[Expat GriZ]

Hello back Ozzie! I'll send the rain your way. Hope the clouds disappear so I can see the Southern Cross ...... my favorite Constellation!

Thanks! I actually had the PSU and HDD stacked on top of the PCI/PCIe slots, but that got shifted when I had to move it yesterday (still running OFC, couldn't afford downtime). Once I take it to my parents today (surprise replacement for their C2D E6400 I built them a few years back), then I'll put the i7-920 there. After that I think I'd have room for maybe one or two uATX rigs. We'll see. Might as well take advantage of the free electricity here at uni

Wow, that is simply amazing!!
What do you do with all of those GPUs? Getting prepared for when the WCG GPU client comes out of beta?

Also, I assume that you are use "minhund" at TechPowerUp? I don't speak Norwegian, but I know enough German to recognize that minhund translates to MyDog.

Thanks [Ion] The GPU's are just for benching actually only running with one card atm.
You're right on the spot with "minhund"

Cool

Are you crunching on all of those CPUs then? I see your signature and how it says you're inactive, but then again you're posting in the WCG Farm thread...

Shh!!
They're all crunching but can't say where someone might be watching.

Might as well post what I have:

On the very right is a HP DC5800 with a Celeron Dual Core E1600. On the red box at the right is an AMD X2 4200+ running a 9600GSO (folding). In that box is my Atom system--you can just barely see it. In the red box on the left is a C2D T9600 and a PentDC T4200. On top of that box is a C2D E6400 running an 8800GTS and 9600GSO (folding). On the very right are two HP DC5800s, each with a C2D E8400. You can barely see the corner of my Thinkpad E430, with an i7-3612QM.


In the very back corner is my Xeon DP system--two E5420s and a Radeon HD7930. Just in front of it (still on the windowsill, caseless) is an i7-860 running a Radeon HD7950. In the white midtower case is a Core i7 2700k running two Geforce GTX470s. In the black midtower case is an i7-920 running three Radeon HD7770s. In the black ITX case is an i3-3100 running a Radeon HD7850.

Nice Rigs!

I currently only have 2 rigs crunching, here are a few updated pics, be warned this is my bonus room and it is basically a workroom so it is messy






And yes my picture taking skills leave a lot to be desired
