as in title really, just wanted to slap a cheap-ish folding pc together for Folding@Home (obviously ;)) and other various tasks that require lots of computing power.

ive heard Xeon systems can be had rather cheap but im not sure how cheap. BillyTheImpaler maybe able to help ;)

cheers for any help,

well.. :D :p as you asked so nicely, i was hoping to join in with the OcUK Folding @ Home team, general Encoding activities such as video and audio encoding. also if SETI@HOME is still going then maybe look into getting involved in that :) i would hopefully have it on 24/7 so maybe use it as a file server as well.

cheers for your help.

EDIT: after looking at Amp's rig i really wana do this :D i got an old case i can duck tape some fans too and i havnt got a project atm so this could be interessting.
