hi

i was wondering how long say a typical unit would take on a quad xeon 700, 2mb l2 cache with 4 gig of ram?

im looking into buying one as my mate has one for sale.

a bad unit takes about a week on my dual piii 1000 so roughly the same?

thanks

my mate wants 150 quid for it. He reckons it costs the same to run as a high spec modern PC but I can see why it will use a lot of power with 4 cpus and 6 hdds. Oh yeah, its rackmount. Not sure what make it is yet, finding out soon.

If you're going to make it FAH-only you could take out four or five of the hard disks and sell them at auction.

would this save a lot of power?

how much extra do you think this would cost than a sempron 2500+ rig I want to replace in electric? The sempron does 180 ppd so the xeon should just do more and yes, it will be just fah on it 24/7.

Im getting tempted to leave it as the electric bill is already crazy. Might upgrade the sempron to a conroe or another x2.

My mate says all three of the PSUs have to be hooked up at once else it won't power up.
