Hardware
First the obligatory hardware shot!
* 8x J&W Minix 785G AM3 Micro-ITX
* 32GB DDR2 800MHz memory (4GB per. node)
* 2x Corsair TX650 Power Supply Units
* D-Link 24 port Gigabit switch
* Various models of AMD processing units
Preparations
All nodes have been prepped and ready.
Giving the nodes a full round of memtest.
Constructing the Stacks
The nodes will be configured in two arrays of four nodes.
The mounting system is constructed from stainless steel rods cut to appropriate length, coupled with pvc reticulation tubing from Bunnings Warehouse
Node number one.
Crossbars improve the structural integrity.
The node stack.
The first stack contain: 2x AMD 600e quad-cores and 2x AMD dual-core processing units.
Glorious 16 Gigabytes of memory
Constructing the secondary stack.
Secondary Node Array completed
