Late nights and more assimulations.
Hardware donations from tons of TA members is the mainly the cause; couldn't of done it without you all!
Here's the real suprise though:
In agreement (yes this is a permission thing) with a local company I was able to work out a deal to trade computer
support for SETI time on their systems. They had no problem with it, so I'm also dedicating my time to TA in addition
to a few racks.
The other great factor is the weather up here in Minnesota has been fairly mild. The mornings have only been around 45-55 degrees
so I don't have to worry about A/C just yet! BIG savings in power consumption!! HUGE!! (Excuse the mess when you see the pics)
I'm using my garage for now until the electrican comes over to do his trenching and wiring, but as you will see it's quite a site!
One thing holding me back is the back order of machine bolts and nylon flanges at the local hardware store. They told me all orders are usually
filled every Thursday of every week, but they've been out for quite a while now. I finally worked out enough time to go in and see the owner
asking him if I can include a case of these parts for myself the next time they order and obviously he said it wouldn't be a problem. (Panhead, you reading this?

)
I have homes for more motherboards (again as you see in the PICs) but until the bolts arrive, the power supplies await a host. In time though, rack #2 will be full and I'm preparing rack #3 meanwhile.
Then I wiped out our local radio shack out of momentary switches! LOL!! The lady at the counter says, "Wow! You get the VIP award for today! You must be building something very large for that many switches." I tried to tell her about our project, but I could only get a blank stare on her face. (His mouth is moving, but I don't understand a thing he's saying.) Isn't their motto, "You've got questions, we've got answers"? "Do you have momentary switches for a BEOWULF?" LOL!!

(J/K)
Have to run!!
