I think Skillz suggestion is bang on, I've done some builds with Fractal cases and can confirm they are *incredibly* quiet to the point of being inaudible.
A little note (not to take away from Skillz's suggestion), I am in a similar boat but in my case the wife doesn't want to see -or- hear...
Some background:
My wife is hesitantly supportive of my DC hobby. Basically, I'm allowed to pursue DC as long as the following criteria are met:
She doesn't have to see a room full extra computers (out of sight)
She doesn't have to hear any extra noise (fans humming, etc.)
I chip in extra...
How high do you figure these things can be stacked when fully loaded with CPU only setup, say 2p Xeon or Opteron setup (I'm thinking about Rosetta@Home [CPU based boinc project] crunching cluster)? Any idea how stable these things would be if they were stacked say 6 to 8 units high?
Antec stands for reliability, efficiency, and overall dependability! I would use this to build a new folding@home rig and help humanity with the [H]orde!
Looks like the issues have been resolved, if you can call it an issue - what actually appears to have happened is a huge swath of new users joined the project due to it now being bundled with a new DC platform and it caused a big logjam as their servers were pushed beyond their concurrent...
Come over to BOINC, there are lots of awesome projects to choose from. Rosetta@home is still in the protein space but from a very different angle and they've recently made some very interesting headway in their research. They also keep a very active thread on their main forums where they keep...
Hello All,
It's been a long time since I've posted in here (years, I believe). I haven't really participated in F@H much recently either (though I've done and am doing a bunch of BOINC stuff).
I have recently been browsing these forums and have stumbled across a few people eluding to 'PG...
Not to get political about this, but as a Canadian watching all the debates in the US about universal health care, I have to tell you this is a prime example of why I'm so proud to be Canadian and how great our health care system is. As a previous poster said, this surgery was FREE! Also, a...
I'm also impressed with the number of FLOPS comming out of all of the GPUs now.. Looking at over half a petaflop and growing fast... It is like a HPC dream come true!
