I have some good news! I'll probably be getting a new node sometime in the next week. It's currently a PC that doesn't run 24/7; it's a bit old and has a lot of crashing issues etc because it runs Windoze ME, so it'll probably be replaced with some newer system that I can also borg. So new system + old system->new node = more throughput. Maybe I'll finally get out of this treading water thing I've been doing in the stats for a while.

On the desktop, there's an old Dell 266MHz Latitude running Windows 2000, and a HP4M+ Laser printer. Behind the right loudspeaker (Soundblaster i-trigue) you can just glimpse a HP thin client which I'm connecting to work with. The screen is a HP-L 1925 19" LCD. On the floor, from left to right, is my daughter's P-III 1GHz (Win2K, her console is off to the left), a P-II 550MHz (Win2K), a Celeron Coppermine 700MHz (Gentoo Linux), my main workstation P-4 3GHz (Gentoo Linux), a Pentium 133MHz (Debian), and finally an actual Pentium 90 that has been running Windows NT4.0 Server 24/7 since September '98 (I've rebooted it a few times, though). I haven't thrown out an old computer since my 486. I network them instead, putting them to use as servers. regards, Leif. |

I don't think I've ever thrown out an old computer. I've given a few away to people who can make good use of them, and recycled the parts of several others to make working machines, but I've never thrown away a whole machine. Most of the old machines, some going back to the late 70's and early 80's, live in the loft. The oldest one currently powered up is a PPro-233, though a Gateway2000 desktop machine (originally P75, now a P120) serves as a monitor stand on my desk. It still works, and boots W95, but is too inconvenient to use without a KVM switch. All the other boxes can be driven over the network. Paul |

I wish I could fit all my computers into a single picture. I currently have about 15 or so running, and they're on various shelves and in various areas of the room, depending on their use. Ranging from 486 to AthlonXP2500. I'd have more running, but I lost one of my nortel BPS 2000 in a power outage, and thus have not been running my beowulf cluster. Otherwise I'd probably have another 10-15 or so nodes running.
Still cool to see pictures of other peoples farms |
