More like Paypal takes a percentage cut of every penny plus there'sa currency conversions, etc.

There have been some fractional donations...

I can't post for each individual donation so some postings are several donations combined together...

I will begin to order parts sometime next week... I will list each transaction here so you all know where the money is going...

Here are the "street" prices for the CPUs... I'm trying to locate a 140 since that should save us a few bux, but I haven't been able to find one...

My understanding from reading the manuals and datasheets is that either a 140 or 240 will work for us...

If anyone has a suggestion on parts please PM me the details... I plan to purchase stuff I'm familiar with but new ideas are always good...

It won't be long now said the skink as the little boy picked him up by the tail. (A skink is a small lizard with an easily broken but quickly re-grown tail)

Quintleo, no problem, I tossed in 20 for me and 10 for you.

I hope to hear that the machine is under construction soon.

Do you need a monitor? Someone might be able to donate it...

I plan to run it headless, but if we need a monitor I have a couple around here we can use...

We'll probably get the motherboard from here...

I found that Kingston has 128Mb memory sticks for $44 each (2 needed) so that might be an option to save some money... The memory from Crucial (2x256Mb) will cost ~$145... That said, I'm still leaning towards 512Mb...

Does the memory have to be ECC registered or can it be just ECC? The reason for asking is Mushkin has 512MB (2x256) of PC2700 ECC memory for sale on their web site for $119. PC 2700 ECC registered is $159. Your can also contact them at 1-800-569-1868 to see if they have validated their memory for the Tyan board your are looking at.
