Hello,
I am rejoining the SETI project after a brief try 10 years ago. I am re-joining because I want to do something worthwhile and always found SETI the most interesting project. I also visited the PR radio antenna . So now I am building a new system that will run 24 hrs for the most part, though I am primarily targeting overnight processing for SETI, until I can figure out how to work and run SETI during the day. I have most of the components to build a new moderate-high performance level Intel based system, using either 1366 or 1156 socket. Bill of materials aquired so far:
2- cases available for either mATX or ATX (PCD Qv2e or Scythe Fenris Wolf)
1- Seasonic 850 supply
1- Noctuna NH-D14 air cooler (14 inch fan model)
2- BFG 9800 GT (overclocked), CUDA capable
2- WD Green drives for raid0
1- OS, Win 7 64 Home premium
All I need at this point is a motherboard, CPU and memory. Any suggestions on a particular setup that would work particularly well for SETI overnight processing. Am pretty open minded to either Intel socket/architecture. I will overclock to high 3.X, for 4 with whatever I get (i5 or i7).
Any tips are appreciated..
