Here's mine to add to the pile:

This is where all my active crunchers are. From left to right: The laptop and desktop to the far left are my dad's and don't crunch (sadly). At the desk are my main rig (top black) Q6600/2 Cuda, next to it is my venerable PII-400, on the floor my P4, and standing on the floor is a Celeron laptop I got for free soon to be set up. A64 laptop behind the right monitor, an unused P3 550 below the keyboard and hidden under the cabinets is my whiny Celeron 800. Those stereos on top are each quads ;).


On the left is my dual P4HT server sitting on top of a soon to be homebrew NAS. The three servers on the right are ready to go once I move into my new house this summer, dual CPUs, P4HTs and P3s.


The grand stack. My 24 port switch and external raid sit on top, of all the servers here 7 are dual P3s (one's hidden on a shelf in the back), and 5 are dual UltraSPARC IIs...most waiting for my move to power up.

University of Washington surplus score! All those servers (plus 3 more hidden in a closet) cost $200 and hard drives for them (SCSI no less) came in at $40. Any Seattle cruncher can get pallets of working computers (mostly P4/A64 and older though) for chump change and a stack of drives to go with them for even less.

Nice setups. From what I can see the P4 are kind of a waste, but better then nothing.

My P4 currently has an overall BOINC RAC of over 13.5k and should level off at just over 25k - hardly a waste ;)

Here is a couple of photos of my little farm. I am in the process of moving things around. My main cruncher, Maul, isn't shown.

I see you're a lefty. :)

I take it each Star Wars figure on top that computer is the name of that computer?

No i'm actually right-handed. I can use a mouse on either side, but find the left is easier as it leaves the right hand free for hitting other keys.

Yep. You can't really see it but the names are on the yellow labels too. I have a Yoda figurine which i'll put on top once i've put the new graphics card/power supply in.

This is the farm I used to have.. All P4s 2.4ghz 512meg 40gig HDs
TOTAL RAC... Around 1600. I paid 500.00 for all of them on ebay.. No GPUs.. No slots for them.. way to tiny and old.
I retired it in favor of a Quad.. RAC ~ 3500.. with 8800GT ~ 5200

This is my workstation.. Where I'm programming Boinc.NET but this is an older pic showing the P4s using VNC on the 2nd 19" monitor.
I dont even use the 2nd screen now as my 9800GT cooked :(
