    heh

    My "farm" is a "small window box" by the standards around here. Don't let that put you off.

    What projects do you have selected? If you've restricted yourself to an intermittent project you'll have a lot of trouble getting work.

    That message is "Normal". I get that every time I set up a new rig.. "It appears the selected project has no work for your type of computer" or something.
    Just ignore that, it works fine anyway.

    Old tech. ASUS P5B Deluxe & Intel quad core. Almost three and a half years of non-stop crunching. Only thing that's been replaced is the RAM. Buffalo Firestix (seen in pic) finally gave out recently. PSU is a Zippy 600W.

    Board is mounted on a custom-made benching platform from Japan.



    In the background is an old Vapochill phase change cooler that hasn't been used in a very long time.

    More old tech. Abit IP-35 Pro with Q6600. Non-stop crunching for almost three and a half years. Video card is an ATI Rage I bought on Ebay for around $5. Still working.

    Supermicro dualie with Xeon X5340's. Cruncher is ranked #2 on BOINC all-time list. More than 27.5 million WCG points on this one rig.

    Total dodge by Supermicro when I asked for specific advice. All the guy did was echo that my concern how power may be something to look at and complain that I had the nerve to run Kingston memory in the board even though it hadn't been tested by them. Nevermind that the IMC on these CPUs controls memory and that everything in this system worked great on the H8DAE-2.
    Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
    As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.

    Rule 1A:
    Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.

    Rule 2:
    When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.

    Rule 2A:
    When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.

    Rule 3:
    When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.

    Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!

    Random Tip o' the Whatever
    You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.
