<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello people,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We are trying to get the parts to build our
cluster. The configuration we would like per node is:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1 Tyan Thunder K7 (S2462) With SCSI</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2 Athlon MP 1.2 Ghz (Maybe 1.4 Ghz by the time we
order depending on price)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>4 Corsair RAM 256 MB ECC Registered DDR RAM Modules
to add up to 1 GB Total RAM.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1 20 GB ATA100 HDD (with the possibility to expand
to SCSI later on if needed)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We are planning to start with 12 to 16
nodes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have not been able to find 1U or 2U rack
mountable cases from different places, so I would like to know if
anybody has any suggestions. The main problem with the cases is that we
need the "FAMOUS" 460 watts power supply required by the Tyan
motherboard. The only place I found that has such cases
is <A href="http://www.einux.com">www.einux.com</A>, but they ask $700
to $900 depending if the case has hot swappable drives or not.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I really need to get started on ordering the parts
so I will be very thankful with any clue you may give me.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you,</FONT></DIV>
