I was looking at BakedON's thread and I was drooling...wishing that my bosses would agree to something like that for my place.

My "if only I had the power" dream involves about 5000+ machines, all 2GHz P4s or better. :eek: Sadly, the IT department here is too big and there are too many chiefs to ask for permission...but dang, that would be nice. :)

If you had your way at your place of work, school, or wherever, how many machines *could* you borg?
 
I know that I've got at least about 250 at my disposal, that I directly administer and would be able to do. Too bad there is that little IT oversight comittee to deal with. :(

Now if I could have my entire agency, phew, probably 1500+ or so...
 
In my building alone, i'm guessing there are approx 500 p4 3ghz machines... maybe a few servers...

institution wide... take that number x16 at least...
 
working for that state of WV.... just the Dept. of Highways District 4 only, would be about 400 P4 2.66-2.8.... throw in the DMV, that's other 100... multiply by 10 (10 districts in the state)....... God only knows how many are in Charleston.... right now I'd be happy if I could borg my immediate office (that would add 4 P4 2.66s and 6 P4 2.8s to my lineup)......


Keep on Folding!! For the [H]orde!!

 
Lot's but a large portion are unborgable for other reasons....no Solaris or IRIX clients :( , production machines, security, etc.
 
Ohh, could you borg vs. would you borg. Would can be a hard qestion to answer sometimes.
 
There has to be at least 3k in this building alone. They are mostly PIII's and P4's. I believe there may be a couple hundred PII's still in use in occasional places.

I wouldn't mind getting hold of the field offices and fees offices and well, you know the drill. It's state government for goodness sake. This is just the Department of Revenue. Do not get me started on the rest of state government. (Okay, not the whole building is Revenue. But it is all run by the same IT guys. Then again, what do you expect when you have the State Data Center located on the bottom floor)

This thread really makes me depressed. :(

 
Theoretically, if I could borg all the students at Ohio State as well as all the individual classrooms and the computer labs...more than I can count. There are 50,000 students a year last I heard in the Ohio State University, not to mention all the classrooms and labs...so I'd say around 50,000 give or take a grand or two.
 
Purdue University has close to 2000 machines on their West Lafayette computer labs. They go from lowly p4 1.6a to...get this...dual/quad Xeons for the Computer Graphics labs. :eek:

 
Let's see. Half a dozen dorms, 4k resident students. Average of 1.2 computers each, according to someone who works for OIT here, total 4800. Then a few labs here and there - call it 50 - with 30ish machines each. So there's 6300.

This makes me sad :(

 
Well, if I just got my one site for work (Maxtor Longmont), it would easily be thousands of computers. Mostly P4 type stuff too. No way it would ever happen though.

 
Does anyone realize that with the systems just mentioned in this thread, we could probably get close to doubling Stanford's CPU count?

Man, I would love to do that. :eek:

 
I only see around 80k cpu's, and 50k of those are Maniacmous'. FAH has 160k. Not that I'd complain, of course ;)

Well, you have your homework. Get to it :D

 
Probably 25-30,000 but it would never happen. Our IT is way too anal about what is allowed onto the company computers.

 
Ummm......7. And I already borged 4 (2ghz sempron 3000's). The 2.4 cele is out of commission for whatever reason, the "server" is a p1 maybe 166mhz, and a p3 500 that is also non-op at the moment. I guess I should volunteer to fix/donate parts to get that cely up and folding.
 
At my old job it could have toped 5000. Current job, maybe 1200 or so.

But to much crap to deal with to make either work (i'm a peon). One day I may be a director and can make a difference though.
 
We have about 40-50 machines at the office - but most are dual Xeons, so effectively 60-70. Shame it won't happen...

 
I already got the only lab (still in high school). Soo..if I can get the teacher rigs, then I can maybe add..50 or so I think (some still have old old rigs, one of the bio teachers has a 386 :eek: )
 
If you considered all of the fleet vehicles, about 25,000 Pentium M of Pentium 4M laptops and maybe about 5000 3.2Ghz dell workstations. :D
 
2.
I think they are both over 2 Ghz speed.
And we only got the second one in April.

Luck........... :D
 
:eek: he speaks!!!

Glad to see you around tiger!


Keep on Folding!! For the [H]orde!!

 
I've currently got 100+ computers folding away for me, but if I could get the whole campus I think that I could take on FLECOM!

 
If I could borg the actual work machines, about 30. But I work for a refurbishing company, so if I could borg all machines I could, a couple thousand.
 
I could get appoximately 80-90, plus another 50+ from my bro-in-laws work. Of that number there are maybe 40-50 that are already folding. Dunno anymore really.
