WAY too much heat. I swear I came in one morning and was greeted with 90+ degree temperatures in my office!
I know that feeling. My downstairs neighbors run their heater 24/7. It is usually below 30 outside here in TN during the winter.
I have not turned the heater on once. It is crazy.
Actually, we have all the apts windows open to cool it off.
It is 71 in the living room, with the windows open.
I don't know why they love their heater, but it is cheap for me
The Computer room is usually around 74-78 with all the servers running.
Thought I should post a bit of the gear I am running.
Some boxes: Dual Quad Precision 490, 4 old Optiplex 260s (P4 2.53GHz)
I don't care what anyone says .... a row of boxen is always a cool thing!
Also, In the second photo ... what type of PC is the one on the left .... i know it is a dell ..
Really nice small form factor ... would like to see some specs or have a model number!
I've had a few requests for specs PCs in the farm, so here they are.
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-G31MX-S2 Intel G31 Chipset with on-board VGA
RAM: 2 GB (Mostly OCZ DDR2 800 1GB x 2). 2 nodes have Kingston ECC DDR2-800 since a dell machine here refused to work with it and I swapped the ram. 4-4-4-15 with OCZ sticks but ECC RAM is running slower timings.
CPU: Q6600 G0 9x333 @ Stock voltage
Hard drive: 80GB SATAII Seagate
Power Supply: Athena Micro ATX 400w.
Great Pics from Everyone so far .... We need more .....
your setup pics helps other with new ideas ....
plus i like looking at them...
You mean for posting pics of our farms? Well, I have one but there's really not much to see. It's just 4 or 5 boxes and they're not the most appealing looking things around. Some of them are approaching nearly a decade old and half of them are open cases, so all you're looking at really are a bunch of cables and components. I think that a lot of members' farm environments are probably similar looking and might be a bit reluctant having their setups displayed on the forum. If I can make my 'farm' look a bit more presentable, I might post a few pics later in the year.No one else has a camera?!
I just picked one of these up as well. Only gripes are the lack of a 1:1 memory divider and notfreds USB folding image can't use the onboard NIC =(
I was going to drop my present e6600 in this board, but I fear I won't be able to hit the 3.4Ghz it is good for...I dont have RAM that will make it that high. Right now I have a e2180 in there chugging at 3Ghz.
Here is my little dorm room sauna of a farm
General corner of my dorm featuring couches newly stolen from our living room.
Lappy hidden in the far corner
The legendary backpack folder
TV and main rig
Hidden tower with 16port switch on it, you know the IT department loves it when I need 5 IPs instead of 1.
Here's what we're working with for a folding/render farm.
5 Q6600s @ 3Ghz.
