    Saw that on hardforum.com about 2 years ago, pretty cool I guess. I think that guy could have spent his money on something a bit more useful than a folding farm though, perhaps a direct donation to cancer research or something.

    AFAIK they're athlon 2600+s or there abouts. Could probably fit most of that power inside a single 2 x quad core now.

    It's about 20 Socket A motherboads, with Athlon XPs in them. Think they all had 512 megs of RAM or so. They all just have a power and network cable going to a switch, where they network boot from a server and run Folding @ Home or some other grid project.

    Looks good, but pretty harmful to the enviroment I guess. Maybe he'll be causing cancer rather than curing it.
