Nice find Woodsie,
If you manage to click the wrong button... ... on that page you can also find this which is a P4 Mobo and case (incl. 52x32x52x CD-RW and 350W PSU) for $29:99 .
I don't know much about the Intel side of the force... but $29:99 has got to be some kind of mega deal surely.

here's one that *costs* $299!
Hello:
Here's a Sempron 2400+ system that costs $299 -- no rebate required!
http://www.sub300.com/info.htm
Or, here's a "blade" for a farm that could do a LAN boot (Realtek works in Linux, and Linspire is only $14!):
Rosewill 350W Power Supply, Model "RV350" - $18.49
Masscool "FalconRock" CPU Cooler for Socket A/ 370 Model "5F286B" $10.49
pqi POWER Series 184-Pin 128MB DDR PC-2700 -$16.50
PCCHIPS "M863G V1.5" SiS741GX Chipset Motherboard for AMD Socket A CPU - $36.00
AMD Sempron 2200+ 1.5GHz, 333MHz FSB, 256KB L2 Processor - OEM
$48.00
Product total: ~$130
Shipping & Handling: $ 18 (for one set)
Of course, with the Linspire, you *could* boot from the Linspire Live CD-ROM (which included for the $14!) but you might need more RAM (?) to do this, so add it up to $145 + shipping. Would/could this work? I.E. booting from a CD-ROM on one blade, and then booting the others through the LAN?
BTW, the Rosewill PS looks pretty interesting...a straight through air flow *pushed* by an apparently quiet 80mm fan.

Are they quite what? The goal is to build a quiet system, or in this case buy a super cheap system, then make it quiet.hwsboss wrote:ah, but are they quite?
*points to the name of the forum*
Oh, and this is the Folding@Home thread - systems running at full throttle, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
And why wake up a thread that has been dormant for a month and a half??
