Adding more Intel cpus to my home fleet!

[networkman]

Yep, I know.. sounds kind of surprising given that I'm almost to an all AMD fleet now, except for the dual Xeon, but I just couldn't pass up the deal I got at a local liquidator! :Q

Just picked up (5) IBM NetFinity 5000s - each is a DUAL p2-350 or p2-400 system. All I need to add is some ram and a drive and away I go, and I already have those parts here. :Q

Granted a dual-350/400 isn't the fastest thing in the world, but they will help.. and at under $75 each, I just couldn't say no.

Awesome deal Rich. Now I see what you have been brewing.

:Q:Q

Gimme some of that lovin'

 

[IsOs]

:disgust: I wish I could do the same

 

[mechBgon]

Dude! Another 10 CPUs?! Nice!

 

[CyGoR]

Dasm! Is everything in the US that cheap??
Even if it was the double price I should shout YES I WANT THEM!!
Nice work Networkman!!
My dual celerys (2x366@550) need 12h for one wu/cpu.

 

[Robor]

So networkman now has 5 more dualies? I'm shocked!

Congrats!

 

[ProviaFan]

With all these new systems, you're going to need a gigabit ethernet backbone on the servers (and make that dual for redundancy) to keep up with all the SETI work units that those things will be pulling.

Ray just shakes his head as he thinks of all that dually power in NWM's basement, LOL! :Q

Maybe he should change his nick to DuallyMan...

 

[Swanny]

Dude, pick me up one of those

 

[Assimilator1]

Nice addition to your fleet

So how many GHz's does that add?

 

[IJump]

Nice addition!


I wish I could pick something like that up around here..........

 

[ProviaFan]

Let's see, that would be about 3.7GHz in total, wouldn't it?

For just the IBM NetFinity boxes.. yeah, that sounds right. Only problem is that I need to locate (2) scsi drives(w/rails) for two of 'em, or figure a way to hook up an IDE drive. Turns out I'm going to need a couple Registered ECC pc100 dimms too, so if y'all have any available for trade, be sure and let me know!

 

[BadThad]

Sweet deal man!

That's an awesome price, I would have bought them too...no brainer. Should get you another 10-15 wu's/day or so.

 

[kmmatney]

I have 2 16 MB registered ECC SIMMs (not DIMMs), if they would be of any use. Free (except shipping cost) for anyone who wants them...

 

[ishmael2k]

Nice buy Rich!

If you run across anymore deals like that LMK and I'll see if I can scrounge up a couple of extra bucks!

[ElFenix]

lets see... 4 wus/day from each box... 5 boxes... 20 wu/day for $375... thats a hot deal right there!
