Ok we are getting a good following going here and lots of us have stuff sitting around collecting dust.

we also have a lot of ppl that keep adding boxes to fold more.

What we need now is this thread




We need to make detailed lists of the stuff we dont want thats good and could be used for folding rigs that were not looking to make money off of. cuz that old kt133 mobo will still run a good cpu for folding but wont fetch a high price no more.

So in the next few weeks i'm gonna test all my old junk and see what i have to offer. anyone looking to build a folding box for themselves would only need to pay shipping on the items, i think there are other generous souls here too that could offer teh smae to get rid of that older crap. how many working unused bx boards does one need anyway? lol

the deal with getting any parts from me for shipping alone is that the box must fold. this is the goal of the thread. the box could be used as a kids pc, server, whatever the person looking to build a system needs, it just must run f@h.

this way ppl that can afford the extra power bill or dont care, can rack up points in our favor

hopefully next weekend i'll have a good list of some working stuff thats of no use to me, and hopefully this can take off.

so now this is where u guys can post what u got to "donate" and where others can post what they need for a folding box!

feel free to wait till i get my list if ur all shy

i really think this is a good idea(as long as their are ppl looking to add to their farms)


thanks for listening!

Great idea Yardy!

I have ~8 old P2 233-300's that I am going to give a try at beowulf with, when I get a chance to research and learn about it!

But I have loads of other stufferz as well....

I've got 2 (ugh) intel chips I might donate if anyone needs 'em.
Both slot cellys

1-850Mhz with no cooler
1-266Mhz with cooler

Anybody wants 'em, just pay shipping and they're yours. I'm sure someone out there has slot mobos that need cpu's for folding.


**Edit **

Still have the 266Mhz left. C'mon I know someone wants it.

I should add that in terms of a new rig, thanks to RoundEye, I'm short only RAM (and maybe a case, but I'm not worried about that, I have an old 486 I'm wondering if it will fit into, and if not I think I should be able to find one)

...if anyone has any old RAM I'd shamelessly ask for it.

Now all we need is to sticky a swap thread here.

i'm glad to see this didnt get overlooked or dropped to the bottom of the page. theres so much potential with this.

if we get enough ppl and stuff to donate others could look to upgrade there old rig there stuck on, cuz some ppl here do use 166 P1s still and then contribute to folding and get us farther up the list!

Humblodt, did you get the ram? I'm pretty damn sure I got ram for a 486 laying around.

I think I have a 250w psu
pI asus board(not sure if good)
couple of sticks of pc 66 mem
emachine 300mhz
p1 166 with case and psu
about 4 small HD's 4gb or smaller
few 72 pin memory, enough to fold

Hi Sid, PM sent about the psu and hdd (gave up on the 486 btw )

My Celeron 334MHz choked on the 133 SDRAM I had stuck into it. It wants 100 SDRAM, anyone got some small chips they aren't using. Got 3 slots on the MB so 8MB or 16MB would work.

Rick

Always willing to help. I believe I have a 1GB and 2GB HD lying about. Some old RAM as well. I will sort through it.

shant,
david

Someone want to trade some Cosair XMS for a MSI 865PE neo2 board?

Maybe somehtin other than cosair xms?

(you shameless hussy! )

For those of you that are just putting together your farm, I have 2 extra switches that I'm not using.

Both can be linked to other swithes if you need to.

1. Is 8 port with 8th port usable as 8th pc or to link to another switch.

2. Is 5 port with extra 6th port for uplink.

No extra cables however, but do have power supply for each.

spare DDR? pc 2100? anyone? I can pay the shipping but cant afford to much for the ram. I know I can buy it pretty cheap, but if someone has some laying around it would be apreciated.

Would let me get an old athlon 900 folding.

Hehe, that looks like fast stuff, what is it pc2700 pc3200? what kinda timings she running @?


YiKeS

hey got a ?? have 2 or 3 intel 133's a amd k6-2 350 that I ran at 450 for months and 2 complete 200 mhz pentium systems is a 200 good enough to run only folding on it ??
if so ill get them a going folding away all ar sitting as dust collectors now

200mhz, not sure, the only way to find out is to try, they have to be able to complete the WU within their alotted time. Just try one out and let us know.

YiKeS

that k6-2 could fold

I need two 3gb + HD for two folding machines, anyone got any available? Shipping to Canada.

YikeS

p.s. rickoic - your ram is on the way.

I just bought 4 used HDs for $36 and only needed 2, not sure if they work or not as thats the way I bought them. But the 2 I hooked up worked and the other 2 are just sitting. They are 4223MB Maxtors.

If you want to take a chance on them not working I'll send for postage.

Rick

rickoic,

how much do ou want me to send you for postage?

PM me your address and I'll wrap them up and get them in the post. Then I'll know the exact amount of postage.

Rick

Still have the slot P-II 266Mhz chip available. Just wanna swap for a AMD hsf. I got a Duron 850Mhz I need it for.

I might have an AMD hsf lying about..... PM me.

Still looking for an old slot1 mobo that'll support a Celeron 850...



hopeful whump

I'm in need of (just about any) P3 socket processor.. would like as fast as possible so I can fold fold fold.

Thanks

I've got a P2 socket cpu. it's a 266 tho If you want it, it's yours for shipping.

Ok guyz, My 3rd box is almost complete for my farm but i need a few things:

Ram- DDR
HDD- at least a 6GB
And a KVM switch.

I don't have an xtra keyboard and mouse.


lemme know whatcha got to offer so's i can get the Mercury up and runnin'.

Thanx

LT

I have extra keyboard and mouse, new.

Also now have a lan switch for 5 pcs available.

Rick

Thanx rick but I don't need the lan switch. Friend gave me a netgear 4 port hub. As for the keyboard and mouse, looks Like I don't have the room to place it anywheres, lol

I was thinking using the kvm switch between the nebulous and the neucleus, then use the pos keyboard and mouse i'm using on the neucleus now for the 3rd box.

Thanx for the offer tho

LT-73

Thats how I wound up with extra keyboards and mice. I have 4 KVM 4 pc boxes hooked up so I can switch from pc to pc with only 1 monitor, 1 keyboard, and 1 mouse. Works great and have so much extra room on my desk.

Rick

Yeah, that's how i plan to set it up. I only have a desk and a small kids table and it's a tight squeeze for room. Wish i had room for another desk.

Anybody have an old socket A motherboard laying around for a 950 Duron? I would prefer one that uses standard SDRAM not DDR. I have all the other parts to build another folding box.

Darn! I have a socket7 mobo that's SDRAM with a AMD K6-2 350Mhz cpu. Not sure if the mobo werks tho, I found it in a dumpster behind a school.

Sry Ron

Rick, I could actually use that switch. I just bought a 6th rig and I only have a 4 port router. What would it take to acquire that switch?

Anyone have a SCSI controller card (PCI) I have 4 2GB SCSI drives but nothing to connect to.

I also could use any IDE HDD over 1.5 GB

I have a few extra parts but not a lot, I am willing to buy or trade if possible.
