Pics of your FARM!

[Plan.B]

I had to down-size the garden a bit to up-size the main rig. now to begin the slow process of replanting cpu's. I also have other less photogenic rigs scattered around...

[Bloody_Sorcerer]

Had to disconnect my IDE devices to fit in the video card
Ghettofabulous watercooling is also mostly just out of view

Edit: Oh, the picture in post #3 has the watercooling... not much has changed since then inside, either!

It's always amazing me. We spend $5000 on computers, $500 on monitors & audio equipment, $50 on keyboard & mouse, and $5 on the desk.

My setup... $1000 total on the desktop, $250 on the audio equipment, $300 on monitors, $50 on keyboard & mouse, and the desk is part of my tuition.

just keeping our priorities straight. When we moved into the new house we had computers setup on the floor with monitors up on boxes

talking bout farming...
i asked my professor if its k to run such of a software only over night where no students use the systems

[=[PULSAR]=]

Nice! how many pc's is that? Just leave it running for the next couple days and make sure to turn off all the windows power savings features.

i was able to install it to around 10-15 pc's but professor had to leave so tomorrow it be over 30

they just started working at 16:00 us central, so about 30 min ago

[Bobsama]

Looks like a dozen PC's. They're good for 13-14,000 BOINC PPD (if you assume that they're in-use 8 hours each day).

WOW. Call it 1675 ppd with 100% use and 32-bit OS. Perhaps set it so it only crunches when the computer's not in use (with a 1-3 minute delay)?

Dude... Nice. Where are you at school?

I'm working with both the University of Texas and my former High School district trying to get them to run it and got caught in all this Bureaucracy.

Maybe it'd be better to try each department instead of the University...? Huh... worth asking... Brb.

well i set it up so it start at 4pm at which point no students are using them and to stop at 7 AM where the school almost starts so around 13 hours a day

My desk is an old dining table table I picked up at a second hand dealer for about $5 ... but then all my computers are built from primarily donated and salvaged parts, too. I wouldn't have spent $1000 on the random parts that I needed to complete three systems.

My PC was actually over $1000 all said and done, at least over its life.

Orig (late 2007):
E2140 @ 3.2
Abit IP35-E
Scythe Mugen with stock fan
XClio 188AF
320GB hard drive
1x2GB RAM
Radeon HD 3850

Upgrade 1 (early 2008):
2x2GB RAM
Added 2 exhaust fans

Upgrade 2 (late 2008):
Corsair 750TX PSU
1TB hard drive

Upgrade 3 (mid 2009):
320GB hard drive
2x1GB RAM

Upgrade 4 (late 2009):
Pentium E6300 @ 4.0

Planned downgrade 5 (mid 2010):
Break-down for parts and to become a dedicated cruncher and backup rig.
Remove the 2x2GB kit, all but orig hard drive (or swap to an 80GB IDE drive), & swap out the PSU's. Perhaps put the original chip back in here if I can overclock the Wolfdale in a cheap mobo and downgrade back to Windows Vista x64. Then, (re)build the AM2+ rig with an Athlon II X4, 4GB RAM, the hard drives, & call it a day.

As long as you have permission, it's great.

Let me know if that get's you some pie...

[mAJORD]

Thought I'd post some pics of my makeshift farm(s) for this weeks super computer thingo




PS if there's a 16bit DOS port of BOINC somewhere let me know so I can put those old clunckers to work on the left

[Kingcarcas]

Hehe cute keyboards, is that a foldable i see?

[sRHunt3r]

I posted this in the other farm thread but here is my starter farm:

From left to right: i7 920 @ 4.5 / i7 920 @ 4.2 / Q9550 @ 4.0

haha good use of books and do I dare ask if you have stock in Corsair H50?

No

However I was pretty impressed with how they dealt with the heat pumping out of a 920 so I bought another 3

[Angmaar]

How are those H50's staying on the books? They look like they would fall off.

LOL

They are very sturdily resting on the hardback cover edges and held in place by the tension in their fairly rigid hoses

[dpg0815]

i definately have to sign that, those h50s are pretty sturdy, and once you got them in a position where they are stable, you can leave em and they wont move, unless you have cats i guess

oh is that a dfi p35t2r that i spotted there biker? (i sold mine and..i donno i still feel bad, tbh i feel its the best mainboard i ever owned)
