Ok. You people said you want to donate to the server? Help me out then. I want to build a 4-way cluster of Duron rigs. Not extremely impressive, but let's see what kinda malarkey we've got laying around collecting dust. You may be able to help turn that old crap into a cure for heart attacks or something fancy.
Motherboards are not a problem. I can snatch malarkeyty ones that'll do the job for $1/ea. Video cards good enough to do these clusters would also be easy. 4MB Virge cards are often found in lots of a dozen for $5. However, I need heatsinks, processors, RAM, PSUs, and HDDs.
They can be malarkeyty-ass hard drives, I don't care. It can be malarkeyty-ass RAM, again I don't care. The processors have to be 1.3-1.5GHz. The heatsinks can be really malarkeyty too. It doesn't take much to dissapate a 1500MHz Duron/Athlon's power. The PSU doesn't have to be anything special. A GenericTron 150w PSU would be fine, so long as it is an ATX.
Any of you have old malarkey laying around that you just haven't thrown away? If you've got anything that you're willing to get rid of, PLEASE pm me so I can get this monster started. If you have video cards, they're welcome too.
Only requirements:
- Video card must be PCI or AGP...please don't waste good backup cards by sending me a GF2 Ultra. I'm talking sub-POS so long as WinXP/2k can run with it.
- PSU must be ATX and at least a 150 watter
- CPU must be >= 1.3GHz and socket A
- RAM must be PC2100 or better--any size
- Heatsinks must be able to fit on a socket A platform and dissapate a 1.5GHz load
- Money of any amount is also welcome, be it a quarter or a $1 bill (I don't really care if you donate money...I'm not trying to be a beggar)
Please PM me if you can help us fold.
