Too bad I don't have anything you need. There's also nothing much in my PayPal account.

 

[Shuxclams]

Anything that can go towards shelving is better than nothing....

Is there a minimum spec on the video cards?

I have about 3 old cards....came out of Gateway 486's....2 are TSENG Labs PCI and the other is an old S3 (or STB) card...PCI also...

I'll take em out and send them if you think they will work....they are probably 1 to 2Meg cards...maybe 4 but I doubt it.

Let me know what you think....

Great find!!

I just come across a power strip from a server cabinet. 10 outlets to power the BEOWULF!!

[networkman]

It's not a done deal yet, but it's looking more likely that I'll have a 16port 10/100 rack switch available!

Shux, I think that Evadman works at Home Depot, if I'm not mistaken, and is so he might get a good deal for shelves and suchs.

I'm pretty sure I have an old Matrox Millenium PCI video card layin around... gotta check the attic.

I'll look for some memory too...

I could help with admin, I suppose it would have to be done remotely unless it gets set up in NJ

Mardeth,

If your still willing to donate the hardware, please PM me your email address so I can send you the shipping address.

Thanks for your donation!

ALL HARDWARE DONERS:

I have sent everyone who has posted a PM on where to ship the hardware. If there is anyone I missed please let me know.

Thanks again for all those who have dedicated their spare parts for the BEOWULF!

As things start to trickle in, I'll keep you posted on what I have received and assembled. Meanwhile I will be locating a decent size shelf to start mounting the hardware and power supplies.

Networkman,

I have a 24 port hub already here if you want to hold on to your switch. Let's hope we grow out of the 24 BP6's, then we just might need it!

I have made a request to the mods to place the "Beowulf Project" tidbit in the recruiting threads....hopefully will spark an interest...at least from the coolness factor!

Will update when they respond...

 

[ShotgunSteven]

I will contact the company on Monday when they open and see how much credit I have, then I will know what I will be donating.

Give that UPS man of ours a workout!

I think the other one we had retired; one of our secretaries always gave him a hard time so that was the final push I bet.

Or, if you want another 24 port hub (to keep everything similar) then i would gladly donate it in return for that 16 port switch of nwm's

Looking for cheap 128M PC100 RAM to donate?....Office Max has Kingston 128M modules for $17.99 with a $10.00 MIR for a cost of $7.99 + tax. I'll see if I can grab one for the project....if several others did the same, would be great. Even at $17.99 each, its still cheaper than Pricewatch which had $20.00 as it's cheapest for any speed 128M ram.

Also, as soon as I get the Video cards (mentioned above) out of the PC's, I'll forward them to LANMAN!

 

[muttley]

I have 2 power supplys

1 (new) AOpen ATX-250N

1 (used) Austin LC-250ATX

You have PM.

[Engineer]

There is NOW a paragraph in the Recruiting Threads (other forums) about the Beowulf Cluster that the SETI team is organizing/building....Thank you very much AT Moderators!

WoooooHoooooooooooo

Can we use 145watt ATX power supplies? I may be able to lay hands on a couple dozen for ZERO investment.

Thats what runs all 3 of my BP6s 2 are 366s Oc'd to 550 and the other is 500s OC'd to ~615? So yes they should be a perfect fit
