While I don't have that specific psu you are talking about, I do have a mini-itx pc that uses this 60w psu: http://www.mini-box.com/pw-60.htm It's pretty quiet. Although, I should mention that this first one I bought was defective and I had to exchange it. But the working one I now have only makes a...

I'm having similar troubles powering down my Barracuda V 60GB drive on Windows 2000 Server. I have Windows XP Pro on my laptop and my hard drives always power down after they aren't accessed for 5 minutes. But on my Windows 2000 machine, even though I set the power settings to do the exact same thin...

Hehe, that reminds me of the movie Braveheart...

"HOLD!................ HOLD!!!................. HOLD!!!!!!!!................ NOW!!!!!!!"

After looking at dropzone's stats, I just noticed that the The Knights Who Say Ni! are getting awfully close. Their overtake date is now July 6.

So.... would asking dying teams to join the SPCR effort be considered bad form? Or would you say that all's fair in love, war, and folding? Take a look at team TechIMO . They've got 67 total members, but only 7 currently active. Or how about team vcats ? They only have 1 active member! (Well, the st...

Looks like the first team to SPCR will have some trouble passing up will be the Genome Collective. (with only 30 active members!)

There's also a Windows 2003 Evaluation Kit that can be used for free for 6 months.

[Edit: I figured answer to this question. :oops: ] Good luck with the folding farm Zhentar. I too was thinking about setting up a folding farm. I had this plan about buying all these components off of ebay, maybe enough to build 5 nodes, and then immediately turning around and selling them again as ...

For anyone who's interested, a lot of these just became available today.

Cheap (well, sort of) and silent.

Here is Mark F's web page about building a folding farm.

Interesting read.

I'm totally new to folding, so maybe most of you here have already seen setups like these before...

And here's one that's specifically used for Folding@Home:

Folding Farm

It's running for team "Sudhian Media" which is currently in 15th place.

That's fine. It felt a little borderline when I posted it. (But for the record, I did say that it was just an annoyance, and not a nomination.)

I just posted it to your thread since your topic is what got me to ask the question in the first place.

This is more of an annoyance rather than a nomination, but why doesn't Hush Technologies put up sources for all those quotes they have on their home page? Usually, if a company uses quotes like that to sell its product, the company also gives some sort of indication of where the quotes came from. It...

LOL - If I would only spend as much time trying to get a date as I do trying to build a silent server...

I don't remember the actual thread I read this in, but a week ago I was shopping online at GoogleGear.com for a hard drive and I added an 80GB Barracuda V to my cart. Well, I made it all the way to checkout and right when I was about to click the submit button, for some reason I had this nagging fee...

it's really really really quiet...to the point it makes 5v panaflos irritating Do you know what fan is being used with that power supply? I'm going to buy a case fan soon, but if the fan used with this particular power supply is actually quieter than a panaflo, then maybe I should just use that oth...

I'm not sure how "tiny" you mean, but mini-box has the smallest power supply that I know of. It's a 60w fanless power supply that attaches directly to a mini-itx motherboard. http://www.mini-box.com/pw-60.htm But if you really need all that power, there are a lot of links on this page that may be us...

Err... maybe I should have looked around SPCR a bit more...

Here's someone who's found some fanless power supplies. http://www.seanm.ca/eden/psu.html Since my lightweight server is only going to have one client (me) and will only need enough power to run the motherboard, a 3.5" hard drive, and the RAM, I decided to go with a 60w external brick-type power sup...

I'm building a small mini-itx server for my apartment and since I plan on running this server 24/7 I'd like to know what power supplies are available that have fans that only operate when needed. This is sort of similar to how the fans in my laptop work. They are off most of the time, but start up e...
