I've got a really sweet supermicro based dual HT Xeon powerhouse on ebay. only 3 days left!

I am in serious need of funds for my wedding. I put this machine up as a desperate last effort.

It is doing a great job on Seti under windows, I can only imagine what it would do under Linux!!

buy my box!!!

it runs 4 instances of seti at once!!

hm... with a whole RAC of 13 and bunch of client errors! Perhaps not the best time to mention it here! With Q6600s going for a song, I think you'll have a hard time getting a good price for it :( but I hope you can raise enough for the wedding... Good luck, poor thing!

I wouldn't call two instances of

app_version download error: couldn't get input files:
<file_xfer_error>
  <file_name>setiathome_5.27_windows_intelx86.exe</file_name>
  <error_code>-163</error_code>
  <error_message>too much elapsed time</error_message>
</file_xfer_error>

"a bunch of" client errors - and anyway, those are Berkeley server (download fanout) problems, nothing to do with the quality of the computer being offered.

Two 3.2 GHz Xeons should still be a respectable cruncher - don't let Andy's comments put you off.

Best of luck with your wedding, Anthony.

Indeed... I'm just a cynical old git! :-)
