We didn't use all of them, but we did have 50 x P4 2.26 GHz available.

Now since BobPg3 was bragging about hard drives, I just have to let you know: we had 575 GB of space available, on our school network's P: drive, made exclusively for us!

My box is:
Black Cheiftec Aluminum case with a window preinstalled
Antec TruePower 430W
Athlon XP 2100+
Asus A7N8X (nForce2)
512MB DDR333
Western Digital 80GB (8MB Buffer! WOOT!)
GF4 Ti4200 64MB
*drumroll please* Hitachi Superscan Elite 21" monitor!

I've only had it two months... when I get some more money, I'm going to be modding so much, this baby's gonna purr....
... loudly... 4x 55 dB fans.

Alrighty, after a meeting with Tom Mitchell (Dell's State of Florida Education rep), who is btw a great guy, we've got 26 machines coming in with these specs: Dual Xeon 2.4 ghz 512k on-die cache FSB 533 (I think thats the FSB...), 1 gig of DDR, 40 gig and 120gig HDs, ATI Fire 64 Meg video cards (I made them redo the quote 3 times to get a CAD-class video card ), Gigabit network cards, DVD+RW drives (okay..so that was just a brag...), and 19" CRTs for all of them coming in. Those are all for the visual computer modeling class (which btw, with a class like that, can someone please explain WHY I did the animation mostly by myself???)

We're also getting 53 p4 2.2 ghz machines for the proggramming lab and electronics lab..but im thinking of installing hte max server renderer on tehm as a service, and render overnight on those when no one's using them.

Also, we're getting 3 Dell PowerEdge 2650 servers. Two are going to run my Windows 2000 Active Directory Services and one is going to be an application server. Ill probobly deploy the backburner manager to that also.

Then, we're getting a Network Attached Storage Device with 3 146 gig hard drives, SCSI 320, all raided together. With any luck at all, this will also be on a gigabit network (we also have fiber optics running through our entire building).

So yeah...thats what I'm up to...

(Btw...our plans for this building got soo cool, that our reps started bringing their friends from the office to our meetings to see what we're doing...)


All i have to say is :

I dont think so! Those things will be cooking 24/7. Not to mention, if I follow a good timeline, hopefully I'll have animation done ahead of time, and maybe I can help the teams without that kinda equipement get theirs rendered a lil faster

hehe...we thought we might have been able to use the schools computers for a little rendering, they are all P4s with 256 ram and GForce 2 MX. However, we looked at the way they were set up and realized that we wouldnt be able to use them after all. Has anyone seen Deep Freeze? It allocates a small portion of the hard drive to be saved when you shut off, everything else gets set back to a certain template when you reboot. Well, these computers had 40gb hard drives....and only 100 megs of "thaw" space (space that didnt get erased)....so there was no way to install anything at all on these decent systems....nor any way to save any decent size file onto them.
