no need for the software as they have that covered if this box replaces theirs

don't you think we're a little drained? The Team Pproxy / webserver / gamebox / advertising. I'm not saying they don't need a new box, but they HAVE OVER $20,000 USD! They just aren't using it at the present time. http://www.distributed.net/legal/ledger.html

Hmm, since they are a not-for-profit organization, I am currently accepting donations for the feed and diaper Bator project. This is a worthwhile project as we are grooming the next generation of TA members. 😉

good point BK however I feel that this will go to our benifit as we could maybe get a support banner at the bottem of the stats pages saying somthing like "Brought to you by: Team AnandTech"
aswell you dont have to contribute if you dont want to, or feel that you do not have the resources, in which case your support is more then welcome 😀

 

[narzy]

oh ya and jator if the team agrees, if we have some left over dog food or pooper scoopers from the project they will go to you 😉

 

[GSmith]

Maybe a little less than the full system that Narzy suggests. Maybe a new dually board and a pair of slightly slower P3s? I think they are now running dual P2 333s. maybe dual P3 600s then? I'm sure they could use the same case, drives, etc that they have now.

I'd be willing to contribute (and probably more than just $5 or $10) if they were to give the team some major mention as the donors.
