Hi folks,

Dave has just sent this from an address that's not subscribed to the
list and been auto-bounced.  I thought it worth seeing though, so if
anyone's interested you have the address of the OP.  Looks okay, but
I've no space or time.

> I am offering a cluster PC experiment, which has 3x PC's running cluster
> knopix, which is designed to communicate with each over a network and
> load balance the data processing load- ideal for something like SETI at
> home.
> 
> I made this as proof of concept, and have mounted the computers to a
> frame, installed cluster knopix, so it just needs the IP addresses
> setting and the cluster activating. The PC's are mounted in a square
> frame with 4 wooden shelves on some threaded rod. It comes with a
> network hub and some network and KVM cables.
> 
> PC specs are 3x intel pentium 3's @ 550 mhz, 250MB RAM, 20GB HDD's and
> CD-ROM drives. I have drilled holes already into the wood so most ATX
> boards should fit, so you can upgrade if you see fit. As it's linux, it
> won't need reinstalling on the hard drives.
> 
> I don't have the time to finish experimenting with this anymore, so it's
> free to a good home. Would be a shame to see it go to waste
