Tempting, but just make a farm like mine! Although not many good deals on these business SFFs right now, it could flood again.

1.4 billion BOINC points achieved for World Community Grid and 1.3 billion for Einstein. All CPU no GPU. It has taken a lot of doordash and Uber Eats deliveries to pay for these SFF computers and monthly electricity cost. Majority are sky Lake based and individually undervolted optimally. Lean...

Natalia, a senior username I recognize from SiDock; "We are recovering both SiDock@home and RakeSearch after a failure of both SSD discs in a mirror. The team is updating the server (hardware), and also the data (including the forum). It may take few weeks more... We will announce as soon as the...

Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra isn't all that good after a year of hard use. In fact, it completely hardens / dries. On my X9100 after 9 months I started seeing high temps and after 1 year auto shut downs while crunching. Turns out it was shutting off because it hit the 105 C thermal protection...

Well, the Sandforce 2000 chip will give the G3 a beating. G3: Sequential Read: 250MB/s Sequential Write:170MB/s read IOPS: 50K write IOPS:40K Security: AES-128 Sandforce 2000: Sequential Read: 500MB/s Sequential Write:500MB/s read IOPS: 60K write IOPS:60K Security: AES-256...

NO! The Green uses 'Intellipower', which is a marketing gimmick which means that it spins at 5200RPM all the time (not 5400). Caviar blue = 5400RPM Caviar Black = 7200RPM If you realize that the number one bottleneck in a computer system is the secondary storage devices (hard drives...
