50!

I'll celebrate by buying my 2 node farm; after I get my pay check today I'll have enough, woot!
it will also be penance for my sins; I have earned a good portion of this money, and now even have the nerve to browse this forum, in a quite unsilent server room- SPCR Hell for short. And the Atlantek isn't running now... as if the two servers + switches, etc, wasn't enough fan noise to drive one crazy. (Speaking of the printer, if you ever see a Gulton ST261, RUN! run for your lives! Its a pretty fast thermal print... and its so noisy it can be heard anywhere in the office )

FWIW. They're server rooms....keeping the machines up and running requires that they stay cool which necessitates fan and AC noise and is part of the function of the room. I can't find the link, but I remember during the last move for the SPCR servers that the admins here said, even the servers for this site are not "quieted."Zhentar wrote:I toured Wisconin's server room when I was visiting the campus (only one other school let me see their server room, and it was far less impressive.... I'm going to wisconsin next year; coincidence? I don't think so ) and it was pretty noisy between all the computers and a/c units....
BTW, congrats on heading to Wisconsin...hope those are good years for you.
Of course servers have to be noisy; their prime requisite is stability, and stability means so much cooling that there is no possibility of overheating.
But the most annoying thing about this room is..... most of the computers have a Dual 19" monitor display, except for 4, one of which is stuck with a lone 21" for space, and I'm stuck on this dinky little 14" monitor... I'd almost rather do the boring scanning stuff for use of those dual 19".... (one of the applications they frequently use is much easier with two monitors)

Except we will need a bit more horsepower (more boxen!) to get there If you look at the java version of these stats you can sort on weekly output & renumber: currently we are 22nd highest weekly producer so that would be our current limit.
Ah, covetousness You must really be dedicated to the advancement of the SPCR folding team if you're complaining about your 14" monitor while at the same time looking to drop $500+ on two folding nodes. Go team!Zhentar wrote:Of course servers have to be noisy; their prime requisite is stability, and stability means so much cooling that there is no possibility of overheating.

I couldn't help noticing that the production of TRC-13 has dropped dramatically. TRC, fire those PC's back up again, we have a chance of outproducing the Knights for the first time! (until milleniumknight gives his farmanimals yet another testosteron injection )
edit: forget it, the wormhole closed already, we need to wait another 100 years again

I think its strange that I am still in first, even with only 8 PC's running for me. One of those is a laptop. How is that these people with 23 PC's aren't producing more? Are they all PII 400's? Maybe they are on only intermittently?
Too bad it doesn't list total Ghz. That would maybe be more useful than CPU's.
Here's my lineup. These are all on 24/7
2.5 P4
2.0 P4
2.0 P4
2.0 P4
1.0 PIII
1.2 (Duron 1200)
750 Mhz PIII - Laptop
2.0 (Barton 2500+) (Running as a Barton 2800)
--------------------------
~13.45 Ghz of power.
