Posted June 24, 2013 Author Sgt, on 24 Jun 2013 - 09:31 AM, said: @alpenwasser, On both of your build log you say that you'll do BOINC, but, why not Folding@Home ? :) I did actually fold for quite a while (got to somewhere ~9'000'000 pts). However, GPUfolding support on Linux is somewhere between non-existant and miserable at best, and that situation is quite unlikely to change any time soon. F@H's responses to requests for GPU support under Linux have been somewhere between condescending and dismissive. Aside from that I really don't like that the software is closed-source. If I run a piece of software on my machine I would kinda like to know what it actually does in detail (or at least have somebody knowledgeable look at it and report any bad things they might find). F@H's answer to that has usually been that making the client open-source would break the credit system, which I think is absolutely ridiculous. If you have that many people who are obviously quite smart working on a project it should be bloody possible to create an open-source client which does not have a broken credit system (that also cannot be tampered with). BOINC's credit system is of course rather broken, but that's not primarily because the client is open source but because individual projects can allocate as much credit as they wish to a certain amount of work. This means that on BOINC project A you might get 10k credits for 24 hours of work, while on project B you might get 20k credits for 24 hours of work. This of course makes any global credit value quite meaningless. However, F@H would not have this problem since it's still only one project. I don't really feel like spending my hard-earned money (power bill) for a project which treats me with such disrespect. Additionally, I like the versatility and open culture of BOINC much more. There's a wide variety of projects to choose from, ranging from physics to medicine to mathematics to history (deciphering Enigma messages from WWII), and since I have a vast range of interests BOINC would still suit me better even if all other things were equal. Most likely I will end up running Milkyway@Home and some other non-medical research projects on my CPUs, while I will use the Titan for GPUGrid. Since GPUGrid is CUDA- based (at least I think so, must re-check that before starting) the Titan should fare very well indeed at that, and this would also allow me to still do some medical research.

Posted June 29, 2013 Author Not sure if I missed something, but what about fans? I have three SP120's QE sandwiched between the back panel and the radiator, but the tubing is hiding them for the most part. You can see the grey rubber thingies for the fan corners in this picture: Aside from that I have the two Fractal 140's that come with the case blowing out the front (so air flow in this build is back to front).

Thank you for the very kind words! :) I would love to do something like this as a business, but I'm going to go to college again next fall (Electrical Engineering), which is unlikely to leave me with the time to do that any time soon.

Posted June 30, 2013 Author I can't see any of the pictures! It says the severs bandwidth limit exceeded. Yes, being featured on the live stream gave me a very high spike in bandwidth and shot me over my limit for June (I've had about half of my traffic for June in the past few days :o ). They should work again come July 1st (so in a few hours, hopefully). I have also bought some additional bandwidth to avoid this in the future. Sorry about this, but thanks for stopping by. :) BUILD LOGS: HELIOS - Latest Update: 2015-SEP-06 ::: ZEUS - BOTW 2013-JUN-28 ::: APOLLO - Complete: 2014-MAY-10OTHER STUFF: Cable Lacing Tutorial ::: What Is ZFS? ::: mincss Primer ::: LSI RAID Card Flashing TutorialFORUM INFO: Community Standards ::: The Moderating Team ::: 10TB+ Storage Showoff Topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 5, 2013 Author T'is a beast. T'is indeed, kind sir, your compliments are much appreciated. :D I have to admit that the response I've gotten here for this build has been really amazing. I'd never dreamed to even come close to this level of support and appreciation. So thanks, everyone, it really does mean a lot! :) EDIT: Very nicely done and original. What array are you running the drives in? Just starting to spec out a home server for myself and am heading into new territory. Thanks! :) The drives are running as two VDEVS, each in RAID-Z1. I have to say I'm really impressed by ZFS so far, it's pretty damn phenomenal. In total I have 17 TB of storage, of which 5 TB are used for parity, which gives me 12 TB available in total. Although I might need to expand soon, I only have 1.6 TB free space left.
