Batman: Midnight's Only Begotten

[Trace]

Folding for me if I'm not mistaking

It will run Word Community Grid, which helps for a lot of diseases. However, there's no love for me on either project...

Tonight's update is brief but important:

Motherboard has not only been selected but ordered!

What did I get?

Because Batman would.

And folks, remember-

I'm Batman.

Aww, got me all excited with the 8000 series Opteron If you're only doing 2 CPUs, why the 8000 series? That is a nice board though.

[Kayin]

HE series, 55w TDP. I could run it passive if I really wanted to.

Also, 8xxx series are dirt cheap.

Also, 8xxx series are dirt cheap.

??? I must be looking in all the wrong places because everywhere I've ever seen them, the 8000 series are way more expensive than the 2000 series. Like, on Newegg, the 2.2GHz 6-core 2427 (OEM) is $500, and the only 8000 series they have is the 2.0GHz 2-core 8212 at $530. I remember pricing out decent 4-core 8000 chips a couple months ago and they were around $800 each.

Ebay, 50 bucks a pop.

[x88x]

Oooohhh....I might have to look on there...

[Kayin]

And, today's work...

All the work is done for me here...

That's not big enough...

Though this looks good.

So I tie these up here...

These up there,

And these cleats are rather convenient.

Stop-hammertime!

and afterwards...

And that's this evening's progress. I might have more this week, depending on the shipment of my board, and some other stuff.
