Reply With QuoteLet me know how it goes. I am thinking of doing one too. I just need more stable work, so I can afford a few more parts. I need replacement PSU's, CPU's, and HDD's before I start, but I can have a 6 node cluster.

Why not make a cluster? May improve things a bit.

Yeah, that's what I'm exactly thinking .... Even 4 nodes cluster would make it good.

Will do. But the earliest going to be the beginning of next year since I'm in the process of moving. With all that packing and unpacking around Christmas time would leave me no time for my computing stuff.
If you are interested, shoot me what you be looking for. I have a few PSU's laying around ( some 230 V and some 300V I think ) and a few CPUs ( but all are old, Celeron 333 or something ).I need replacement PSU's, CPU's, and HDD's before I start, but I can have a 6 node cluster.
Yeah, man. I'm really thinking ( for a year or so ) about running web and database server off of cluster. Just never got around doing it.
Cool, thanks. I gotta go thru my crap and test everything first.
