Awesome, thanks. So I need ECC DDR2 and some heatsinks.

Still trying to decide between this and PhenomII 940 Oc'ed

depends on your situation.
Do you live at home?
How much is electric?
Will heat be a factor?
Are you a gamer?
Sammy isn't the right choice all the time.
Just a niche machine that is very good at somethings but not so good at others.
It's not 64 bit capable
It only has a pci-eX8 slot and one pcix slot..
it is a EATX board so needs a EATX case(12x13" motherboard)
Needs a 24 pin and 8 pin plug off the PSU.
Depending on your needs a AMD940 may be a better choice.

Well I kinda wanted a Phenom II to play with because can get it soooo cheap right now.

Cost really isn't an issue though, in fact I may build a Gainestown soon I miss having server hardware

can you take a picture of the rigs with the y cable please?

[CaptMorgan]

I like my sammys. And they like being together. I'll have to grab pics but they are running in one box with the Y cables just fine

Ya Sparky I want to see pics of your setup

[Sparky]

Will do tomorrow. I'm not at home right now to get pics.

pallet of 10 rackmount sammys for $850

Each one has 2x 1.66GHz, 2x 1GB PC2-3200R, 1x 74GB Raptor, optical drive, floppy, and a 1U case complete with power supply and 2 hot-swap SATA bays.

That's $85 for each complete system, AND they're built on Supermicro X6DLP-EG2, so you can move them to regular ATX chassis if you don't like the 1U format.

Only 22H time
No time to gather guys for team bid

Amasingly those look new :o

[Jaco]

don't show this to Dave

[CaptMorgan]

really nice but shippin would not be nice

[Martijn]

Really, we should get that as a team... $85 a pop is nothing

[s0lid]

don't show this to Dave

Too late for that, once it's posted David WILL see it
Sammy cluster anyone?

[s0lid]

Really, we should get that as a team... $85 a pop is nothing

But shippings are
Tho if we get somebody at states to receive these and remove parts from 1U cases and send parts forward to EU. Mobo, cpus + HS, mem and hdd

[CaptMorgan]

Could pick them up- says they are 400 miles away/6 1/2 hour drive hmmmm worth the gas??

[s0lid]

With that price, hell yea.

Gas is cheap in the USA, so yes.

[s0lid]

Gas is way cheaper in states that it's in Finland...

[jcool]

Guys.. that's a great opportunity. However I don't see intercontinental shipping on those, so here is what we could do:

1. Try and find someone who would be willing to run those all together. They are around 100W each so that's 1KW/h for the whole. I'm thinking of bob because he has the lowest elec costs (0,05$ right?)
2. Find enough people to buy those. Like everyone interested could buy one if the ending price is reasonable (maybe we set a max of 1000$?).
3. One person runs those as a farm/cluster, either under the names of those that bought them OR as "Team XS Sammy Cluster" <--

Those should do approx 60-70k WCG/d put together.

Sound like a plan?

I would definitely put 100 bucks up for that project.

Vote for 3.!
Tho i'd like to have my own sammy

I've promised that i make one of those things OC!

[perkam]

That is an insane price for 10 systems.

But those elec costs are a tad high for one person to bear, especially in this economic climate, but the 'receiver' can always individually ship them, maybe at a small premium

Perkam

[Hymay]

That lot is very very tempting, instant mini farm on a rack!

I'd rather see the auction expire, then negotiate a price w shipping and have him relist it as a Buy it Now.
Still 85 a whack for a full system, drives & case is a steal.

[Sparky]

OK here are pics of my dual sammys on one PSU in one box PSU is a 400W antec and it barely even blows warmish air out

That is a frigging steal..
NY state huh?
I wonder if he'll allow someone to pick them up..
I'm also remembering that rsmura said he could host machines at his business and Rob isn't far from this guy..
I'm broke right now or I'd be on this myself.

[Movieman]

Me too, I've got no money for this, otherwise I'd buy it up!
I think it'd be worth consolidating ram and hdd so that you have 5 good systems and 5 to part out for money. Heck, just the cases + psus alone are worth the money!

We agree 100%.. a month ago and I'd have jumped on this but very bad time, no work coming in and the "little" one hit me up for $$ I really didn't have app a week ago..
Can't say no to the kids..

@sparky

You use the box that came with your motherboard. Hahaha

Amazing, what a work of art.

[Otis11]

SparkyJJO- You are my new hero! That's so cool.

(I feel like I should be pushing up some glasses and adjusting suspenders...)
