Hi guys, I am working on getting a cruncher up and running. I have a Pentium D 920 begging for work and I plan to get him on the job. He needs a motherboard and that motherboard needs some ram. I have a PSU that I think will work. I think it will be alright all on 300W. Im gonna buy a case for this build and I dont think I need a DVD Burner. I plan on RMAing a Hard Drive I have to get that covered. I am willing to pay shipping but I dont want to invest to much money in this project because I have a car that is in need of alot of repairs.
Thanks Guys!
Awesome, Ds are good crunchers, 4ghz shouldn't be hard with a decent HSF. I ran a D 940 for a while @ 4.2ghz, it did approximately 800 PPD, maybe a bit less. The only problem was heat/power consumption, the rig with 1 HDD and integrated gfx running on an 80 plus PSU drew over 200w. The only problem you may encounter is the power required and heat produced, but they are good crunchers if you can get them cheap.
