Is there a list or site for ...

[Lancashire, Pete]

sorry to bother every one with a non linux bios question

I'm going to set up a small cluster at home for self
education. cost as can be expected is a concern. For
now i'm looking at a cluster of 4-8 boxes.

I've looked at using used PC's but the best prices
i've seen for anything with a >1 Ghz Processor is
$200 or more.

On the flip side Wal Mart of all places has a box for
$200. No fancy or fast. but better then any used price
ive come across.

Anyway.. does someone know of a mailing list or site
for those of us who have not won a lottery ?

tia,

You can make a BProc (Beowulf distributed processing space) cluster out of 
pretty much anything. One of the clusters here at Los Alamos National 
Laboratory boots Clustermatic software out of flash using our LinuxBIOS 
(shameless plug). It saves money since we don't need a hard disk or CD-ROM 
drive.
