Journal penguin_nipple's Journal: Someone read my jornal and more beowulf madness!
Hiya Bob...
Anyhow, today I got a sweet deal on 10gig SCSI 7200RPM drives for 150CDN. Nice, so I bought 3, one for rich, one for me and one for the cluster...foreverafter to be referred to as "Becker" in honour of the guy that started the whole thing, Donald Becker. Now imagine a beowulf cluster of that guy.
=P
I had to say it....
Anyhow...I have to vaccuum Becker out...oh god that sounds bad. Back on topic, the machines are beauties, it would appear that they hadn't been opened in the 7 years they were running stock tickers, which bodes well for the machines. If you yank open the pizza box profile, a light dust filters through the air, quite pretty, but turning on 16 of them at the same time might just kill someone.
More paperwork to fill out and ordering to be done , so hopefully next week, I can begin , well....installing things...
Really, there could be worse things in life than doing this!
BTW if you have a pulse and you're reading this, do ya wanna see some pics of the machines? huh huh do ya? If so, reply and I might actually get off my butt and throw them up somewhere...
