Boinc manager is so weird on all 3 of my machines,
it takes like 30 min to report tasks ... i have to manually click on "update" Command ... for getting reported i guess... forgot to take a screenshot about all done tasks there being ready to report...

Check your Event Log in the BOINC Manager to see if there's some reason why they are not being reported.

Do you have the report results immediately switch in your cc_config.xml file?

I had a similar issue. I figured I'd lay down some numbers for SETI Germany's WOW challenge (figured TPU could make a small appearance at the party) and BOINC worked through my entire buffer and wouldn't upload until I manually hit "update" once. It's had no issues uploading workunits since then, so I don't know what was hanging it up before. :confused:

If you don't mind my asking, what's the total on something like that? I know it's outside my budget, I'm just curious to know how far outside it is.

I bought it on [H]--hence that's why I just copy/pasted the ad--but $1000 + shipping. Not as bad as I figured for such a system. Ought to get high-20k PPD I expect.

^^^ This!

Are you back at school now or getting ready to go back soon?

Class starts Monday, but I'm actually living at home for the semester. School screwed up something and I lost my housing reservation, and I figured that I'd rather live at home and drive an hour each way than risk living with three random guys (my experience with two in the spring wasn't good). But one of my friends is graduating in December (at least plans to) so I move back in in the spring.
And I've managed to convince some of my friends to host rigs for the fall, which helps. One has four of the dual-Xeon Dell T5500s, one has a T5500 and the dual-12c Opty, and one has the quad-8c Opty.

Hmm. That's not as far out as I expected. *looks at wallet*

Edit: If it takes DDR3 RDIMMs, it might not be too expensive to load that thing up.

Takes any sort of DDR3 I want to use. So I'll probably do 16x2GB DDR3 regular stuff.

Driving an hour each way sucks, especially if you have classes more than 3 days a week. Plus you're sort of trapped on campus from the earliest to the latest class. It might be worth looking into getting a room near campus so you can crash on days when the weather sucks or you're just to burnt out to drive. Something really small with just a bed should be enough so you can crash there a couple days per week.

Well, I'm on co-op this semester, so I'm working a 9-5 job and then only taking one class in the evenings. So it's not too bad. And I've already been told by a good friend I can crash on his couch if necessary. Only for four months, too, so I'm sure I'll be fine.

My i5 2400 machine passed my tests, but the Athlon is still going. It should actually be finished, but no chance to check it this morning.

Well, the Athlon passed over 36 hours of Prime95 Blend, so I call that stable. It would have just been 24, but no time to check before work so it just continued to run while I was away. Now, BOINC is installed and chugging along. Hopefully it does well!

FYI:
In 1.25 hours from this post, Newegg will be selling, on a ShellShocker deal, a DELL Desktop Computer T5500 XEON E5520 (2.26GHz) x2 8GB DDR3 1TB HDD Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit that is currently listed for $340. This seems like a nice refurbished unit with a 1 year warranty. I have no idea what the sale price will be, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's under $300.
No, it won't get a lot of points, but it is 16 threads. Then there's the option of upgrading the CPU's, of which I know no specifics.
Update: $290!

Check out my Free-DC or BOINCStats records if you're curious--I have several of the dual-E5520s/E5540s/E5620s that are running.

I think I found a new toy to play with. There's an eBay seller offering brand new OS-less Lenovo ThinkServer TS140 Xeon E3-1225V3 towers for $285 shipped. Granted it's a measly single-CPU box, it might be a nice addition for anyone looking to add to their fleet. Details in the Hot Deals thread.

Still waiting three more agonizing days for FedEX to show up. In the mean time, pictures from the seller

Something about 8 ~40mm fans just totally says quiet, right?
He says it isn't so loud. But I have somewhere to run it where noise isn't really an issue, so whatever

[Ion] · Aug 26, 2015

Just got home from work only to find that the onboard SAS controller in the Dell Precision I've been using for computer sales has died. I moved the HDD over to the regular SATA and it's working fine now, but maybe this means the motherboard is about to go

Nordic · Aug 26, 2015

It has cooled down some, so I am going to turn another cruncher. Think I will do the pentium, not a lot of points, but not a lot of heat either.

Is that 4 4P blades in that thing?
Awesome, if it is!! That should pump out the WU's!! I hate to ask but, what's the cost of one of these monster's and what's in there, CPU-wise? Is it going to be very efficient, Wattage vs. PPD? Does that even matter? :laugh:

manofthem · Aug 27, 2015

Back home from my trip, and now this week I'll be focusing on getting the 4790 back up and running; I just need to finally get the gpu back in working order. I'm hoping that by Saturday it'll be back up and running, but we'll see how things go

Not blades--just a regular 1u 4CPU server. I paid $1000 + shipping for a system that just needs RAM. I bought 32GB of ECC DDR3 for $12 tonight so I'm good to go there.

Recca29 · Aug 28, 2015

32GB of ECC DDR3 for $12. :eek:

I just purchased a 8GB 1866MHz RAM for ~49$.

It's all 1GB sticks

Anyways:

This thing is LOUD. Really loud. Definitely more than I was expecting. PPD seems to be between 28k (MCM) and 41k (OET/FAAH). Hoping to boost that up 10 or 15% with an OC.

Well yeah! You're cooling a total TDP of 460W with a bunch of 40mm fans.
