Sorry, forgot to quote....XP18004life:

Yeah, that would be a decent start. Alot of mom and pop computer
shops sell used computers as well. I'm going to the local computer show this coming weekend as I am sure I have seen sub 800mhz used computers for pretty cheap. As was said earlier, all you need is the box itself (ie no mouse,keyboard,monitor). Building a folding farm could be done fairly inexpensively if you do it right and it's for a great cause on top of that. You know, we could see a new trend here.
You could buy/build several folding boxes for the price of one high end video card. Those of us that spend insane amounts of money on hardware (relatively speaking of course :D ) should consider that...
My 9500pro should last me awhile anyway.

Yeah I've been looking around for a little now. I already have an old Gateway case at home to use, as well as a 5 gig HDD and some pc2100 RAM. I'll just grab a refurbed board from newegg or the classifieds as well as an 1800+ or something.

Like you said I don't need a monitor or peripherals, so that should cover everything. Maybe I'll head down to the Goodwill computer store for some items:)

if anyone's lookin for KVM switches, both me and the guy that runs our ChE lab can vouch for Linksys' products. we both run 21" CRTs at 1600x1200x32 @85Hz, and the switch has no issues with signal reproduction.

which model you have, and how much did it cost ya? my main rig here has all it's own peripherals, but my other 2 systems have to share, and i don't have a kvm yet, so i was curious

Settle down there, lads :) You haven't even caught me yet, and i'm running nothing more powerful than a 1.8GHz celery laptop....

Now, if that doesn't spur you on to greatness, then nothing will.... beaten by a celery and a few P3's.... that's funny :)

I just fired up the FX 51 and what do you think I saw on the first bios page?

Not sure what it means on an AMD, but if it was an Intel it would be on ebay already :)

WOW, did you get lucky, an ES. Check it out and see if all the multipliers are unlocked.
