On page 7 there's a list of what we have so far, not considering a few shipments that just arrived.

We're sitting with over 15 PCI video cards now, so that should hold us for a while unless someone
else has a huge stock pile of mobos and CPU's we don't know about. Anyone..? Anyone? j/k

It's up to you if you want to send them anyway, but if you have a place to store them so we don't
take the chance of wasting postage that would be great too.

Rofl . Bright green with some brown tape. MMMmmmMM! I hope you got my note too.

bump!

A little frustrating in the last few days with the draftsmen, but as of this morning everything
has been cleared up.

She sent a email to me asking about "Optional equipment mounts" and I don't remember ever
mentioning a part being optional. We got the bugs out and now she should be able to release
the plans to the estimate department.

I will have three options:

Painted steel, plain steel (which will rust very fast unless I paint them myself), or Stainless steel.

I will get order estimates of, 1, 5, and 10 units. For those of you that might be interested in this
"Crack Rack", I will PM or email you the details on the product.
If anyone would like a shelf for yourself or your team, we can get the price to come down even further!

The draftsmen wants this order finished so she can press on to other projects so I can only hope
we shouldn't have to wait much longer for a finished product.

Another bump for the cause!!! ^^^^^^^

bump for stuff. MTR "forced" me to upgrade another home box, so I'm in process of getting a bunch of stuff to you. Let you sort it out and figure out what to do with it

I was just thinking about this project and where the racks were. Well I got the answer. So it should be ready this week?

 

[networkman]

I hope the metal racks are ready soon as I may arrange a trip up to pick up a couple for myself around November/December.

Of course I'll have to bring some more parts with me for the TeAm crackrack too.

 

[zodder]

Do we need any more equipment for this? I have an extra BP6 w/ 2 x 366/550 Cellys. Maybe 128MB of pc133, too.

We could defintely use it! We need more motherboards, so yours would fit in perfectly.

That brings us very close to filling the first shelf! NICE JOB EVERYONE!!

--LANMAN

Zodder, You have PM.

 

[Assimilator1]

Nice!
So what have you got so far that will be complete enough to run?

 

[LANMAN]

We have at least four complete systems ready to assemble and mount. These boards will be mounted on the
prototype when it arrives.

It seems that as older system get updated the old parts can be donated. This means that we`ll get more stuff at a steady pace as long as hardware is updated. Thought the bad thing is if the stuff we have gets older and breaks faster than we can get stuff were DOOMED!!! But this doesnt seem to be the case as long as this thread is kept a live .

Don't forget the PICS when you get it put together.

Holy crap! :Q :Q :Q

Wouldn't it be nice to have just 1% of that computing power in one's own house? I doubt that the ancient wiring in my place could handle that little percentage, even if I could find any extra floorspace... ;-)

no doubt, but can anyone imagine the power consumption of this beast? OMG !! :Q

[Assimilator1]

OMG!:Q:Q:Q

Can you imagine the heat output from that!?:Q

Hey, in ten years we will have all that power sitting on our desktop in a micro pc box or be wearing it on our wristband or something.
Hardware is such a diminishing returns kind of thing, but it's always nice to have the power now!
