Hi Folk like most people involved in IT you tend to build you a "junk yard" of redundant machines Ive just been through mine and found could at a push make 5 x86 PCs 2x amd 400mhz 2x via 700mhz 1x amd duron 1200 also have lots of spare nic cards Ive never looked at clusters before and this is just for fun (must have way to much time on my hands) :) So I need to know would it be possible to build a cluster from these ? I'm not sure if the nodes need to be matched in any way ? dose anyone know where to find an idiots to setting one up ? also what would the equivelent power be i.e would i just be making a 1gig space heater ?
