I am entertaining the idea of possibly creating a small garden, for what it's worth, I want it to be as cheap as possible but have the most PPD. Do I need HDDs for each computer or a CD drive? If anything, I would like to have it in a rack formation or something. Help me out and I will see if it is viable. I am guessing C2Q, yes?
 
Yes.

cheep P35 mobo, 1GB ram each, decent PSU (possibly 80+) and a CD-ROM.

Mobo:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813127031

CPU:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115017

Ram:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820313014

CD-Rom:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106038

About $402 plus a bit on shipping. If you plan to OC add a few for a good HSF, but that should get you to some serious PPD and OC potential on the cheep.

Edit: drop a nice Vid card in and a bit more ram and it be a nice game rig too ;)

 
Well if I do this, I would be using money that's being donated to pancreatic cancer research, we'll have to see what the people say and if they want that.

It might be in the near future, it might something like a year from now which in that case, new hardware would be bought, we'll see.

 
Wait, what about video Kendrak, how is it gonna display anything for me to set up the client?
 
Will the CD fold as fast as running off of an HDD?

Folding has nothing to do with the HDD.

I use notfred's CD and a USB stick for back up.

It runs wicked fast because you don't have a huge OS for overhead.

Folding is based on the CPU, not if you have a HDD.


 
Alot of cheap mobo's these days have onboard video so you can use that for setting up and maintenance.
