Hi guys, Ive recently had to pull 16 servers for replacement, problem is i dont want to bin them there in mint condition, unboxed and fitted in a datacenter where they have sat working for 6 years, they really are pristine.
I want to run World Community Grid for Cancer for Children to start with, but eventually ill move to SETI again, been on and off with it for years, this time im in a postion to set them up and leave them
I Have a PCI-x expansion slot in every server, i want to locate a cheap card (that will fit in the space available) capable of folding, im not in it for PPD these will be fitted racked and left running at home crunching and providing my network storage.
Suggestions on cards? Remember i need 16 for the first batch.
