<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I just bought two HP DL 380 G5's for a
project. Server cost was under $500 for 32GB RAM, two quad core
XEON CPU's, and four 73GB SAS drives with hardware RAID in a 2U
package. That's 8 real cores of processing for $300 and they were
quiet, too - it didn't sound like a turbine engine like most
servers.<br>
<br>
At this point, I would shop for 3 year old hardware coming off
lease rather than building a cluster. Just a thought.<br>

Look into ASIC based bitcoin mining it's way way way faster
than using standard computers to do the mining.<br>
<br>
That being said, I would wait a little while and see how
bitcoin plays out. It's on rocky ground right now and you
might find that you have purchased a bunch of hardware and
burned a ton of electricity to mine a bitcoin that turns out
to be worthless.<br>

what I'm thinking of doing is buying a bunch of used
computers and<br>
turning them into a super-computer and using that for
the bit-coin<br>
mining. What is super-computerizing called?<br>
