I'm thinking about doing a number 2.

The biggest problem I have with old machines (people seem to give them to me all the time "you're a computer guy right? Here's my junk!") is that they use far too much power for me to feel good about dedicating them to some 'in a moderately cooled closet connected to my lan' use.

In the past I've done 1, 3 and 5.
I had it set up as a Server once, trying to learn when I was trying to land a job with the city.

Catalyst has 281TB of total SSD storage and is a giant computing cluster broken into 324 computing units, called “nodes” by LLNL. Each computing unit has two 12-core Xeon E5-2695v2 processors, totaling 7,776 CPU cores for the supercomputer. Each node has 128GB of DRAM, while 304 nodes have 800GB of solid-state drive storage. Additionally, 12 nodes have 3.2TB of solid-state drive storage for use across computing units.
So that's 324 nodes x 128GB/node = 41,472GB of DRAM = 40.5TB of DRAM.
Also, there's 8 (= 324 - 304 - 12) nodes that are unaccounted for. Those must be NSA nodes.

English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

Not quite - we can prove the existence of the NSA!

Looking at the huge machine reminds me of the first computer run with vacuum tubes and now we have move power in a laptop then they had.

We probably have more computing power in a cell phone or even a scientific calculator....

True they were very crude but it was a start!
The Smithsonian has a part of a couple of the early units and they are huge, can't even imagine what it would have been like to work on one!

And I am thankful for this start... Those guys were/are geniuses..

Has anyone heard of him ? Seems an eternity since he last posted here.
