I use Gentoo on this comp. I've used Slackware in the past on many PCs. This is my first with Gentoo, and I like it.

Umm, KS ? I think he already subtracted his unless he added another 7...

lol beat me to it. :)

Dual Proc, 2Ghz LV Xeons overclocked to 3Ghz. Looks like 600ppd on 241pt Tinkers. Wonder how it would do if it fetched some better WUs...

I added a dual 3ghz xeon system last night, guess i needa add that to the D thread, it's already in the OC thread. :)

Try cleaning up the HSFs? Or replacing the thermal compound? A few degrees can make a world of difference.

All of my early ending units have been from either switching between the linux/windows client... always seems it ends up getting a new WU when I do that. Also from rebooting n stuff.

You, sir, have a problem! I wish I had that kinda cash to be buying up these things left and right. Keep up the good work, it's inspiration for us all! :)

Nah, me and PenguinComp both have the same setups, basically. He has 2 of them however. The LV Xeons are low heat/voltage (like a mobile XP or a64) meant for Rackmount systems. Just put them in a regular case, do a slight mod to get them to normal Xeon voltage (1.55vcore) and up the FSB til it...

Well the Xeons are up. So far, running @ 3.1ghz each Soooooo... 18880 - 2200 = 16680 If I pump them up further, to 3.2 or 3.3ghz I'll come back to update. :)

I got almost 4 ghz of overclocking, possibly more. 2x 2ghz lv xeons 1x a64 3500 1x axp-m 2500 1x xp 1700 worst overclocker of the lot is the 3500, at a measly 466mhz. xp-m will do about 700mhz above stock, and xp 1700 will do about the same, 650 or so. Xeons should hit 3ghz each at...

Dual Xeons: $159 Intel Windtunnel HSFs: $25 Asus PC-DL: $179 Praetorian: $108 Enermax 550w PSU: $123 RAM: $free. I had it already, but it retails about $135 now. Slap in any HDDs / Graphics card and you're set.

Modded to WTX by just swapping the MB tray around. :)

This was my weekend project... but not all the parts are here yet. Penguin is shipping me some Intel Windtunnels tomorrow, and the Enermax 550w EPS12v PSU will be here tomorrow. Unfortunately, I'll be on my way to Pennsylvania for a funeral. :( Anyway, here's what I have been up to...

I got mine for $179 w/ Free shipping @ Monarchcomputer.com. Go there early in the morning, as their prices seem to change as the day progresses. :)
