I picked up a couple of 16 core, quad socket F machines from work recently. One's a Barcelona machine with 2.3GHz 8356s and the other has 2.4GHz Shanghai 8378s in it. Both have 32GB ram. I don't have much use for them at the moment but how could I resist a couple of quads? So I think I'll do some folding.
I've got a couple questions about setting up for folding.
First, the electrical system in my place is a bit inconvenient. I only have one 110V circuit where I want to put these machines. Thankfully it's a 20A circuit, but that won't leave much room for more stuff. However, I've got an extra 240V dryer outlet connected to a 40A breaker. It looks like it has a NEMA 10-50 socket. Any suggestions on how to use this ~4.8kW socket to run some computers?
Second, I haven't bought disks for these old beasts beasts yet. Any need for them? I have them network booting Linux with an NFS root.
