I should have several machines (older) which I plan to use strictly for folding coming my way by the end of the week. The possibility exists, that I may also have a shot of rummaging through several hundred computers to pick and choose what I want.
If all goes well, I'm going to build a folding farm.
The first group of computers are coming from a friend and I am certain I will get them, as soon as he tracks them all down. For this group, I need to know the best way to set them up in as little space as possible. I have a four port linksys cable router right now. Currently there are two ports available. I am also building another rig myself out of spare parts and scrounged items.
The new rig is:
NF7-s 1.1
1700 T'Bred B DUT3C
20 gig hdd (thanks Christof)
an old NVidea mx video card
ram...whatever I can find
etc...etc...
Is it possible to use the new rig as a folding server for the farm units with only the server connected to the router?
In other words, I have no idea what the heck I'm doing here!
PLEASE HELP!!
I'll get into the other, hopefully larger group, after I know for sure it's a reality.
