Hi!

I want to fund the building of a prototype of an affordable and easy-to-use supercomputer for educational purposes. It will be used by schools and universities with little budget. The first prototype will be donated to my old school :) .

 

You can find the build log of a pretty ghetto and very (!) small MADMAN here: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/194504-madman-the-ultimate-ghetto-build/

Please take a look at the campaign preview, where you can find the story and further details: http://bit.ly/1uRbEva

 

Comments and Feedback on the campaign itself would be appreciated  :ph34r:

This project has a great idea behind it! Maybe now you can replace the shi*ty Dell laptops that fill my school with super computers!

 eGPU Setup: Macbook Pro 13" 16GB DDR3 RAM, 512GB SSD, i5 3210M, GTX 980 eGPU

New PC: i7-4790k, Corsair H100iGTX, ASrock Fatal1ty Z97 Killer, 24GB Ram, 850 EVO 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD, GTX 1080 Fractal Design R4, EVGA Supernova G2 650W

Yeah, the idea is (at least for the prototype) to use the existing crappy hardware we had as clients to the MADMAN.
