Burning in the new colo "server" well.. the 4 node, 8 CPU server in a 2U box.
Very interesting that each dual Xeon L5520 node no Kraken is doing about 27-30k ppd on normal SMP units. So 100-120K ppd for the box.
Total power draw, even with things like the redundant 1100w PSUs I have in this thing is ~430w.
Here's the really interesting thing, they are selling with 96GB RAM (24GB/ node) for between $1000 and $1000 shipped. Also have IPMI 2.0 and dual NICs.
Basically, i7-3770K folding performance, for $267 node (+ disk)
The bad thing is that they are loud but price wise not too bad. Oh and getting to use PuttyCS is really fun. The other plus side is that with dual nics and 24GB RAM, you can actually run other things fairly easily on the box.
Keeping a detailed log of my time prior to the colo w/ pics:
Dell C6100 information/ log
