This machine is designed to pump out plenty of workunits for Team 24 for not a lot of cash. Since you don't need a huge hard drive for it (enough for OS and F@H is plenty), I've not included one (most of us will have a small spare, and there's threads in the Distributed Computing forum about cheap small hdds, hell, if you want, you could even set up an OS off a flash drive). Similarly, I've not included an optical drive, since all it'll need is a basic one to install the OS, which can afterwards be removed. | This machine is designed to pump out plenty of workunits for Team 24 for not a lot of cash.

This machine is designed to pump out plenty of workunits for Team 24 for not a lot of cash. Since you don't need a huge hard drive for it (enough for OS and F@H is plenty), I've not included one (most of us will have a small spare, and there's threads in the Distributed Computing forum about cheap small hdds, hell, if you want, you could even set up an OS off a flash drive). Similarly, I've not included an optical drive, since all it'll need is a basic one to install the OS, which can afterwards be removed.
I'm considering adding an ATI video card to it, but I'll need confirmation on this (whether it's worthwhile building a Folding box with an E6300 and an ATI video card or just buying a PS3).
