I figured I’d post this again since I didn’t have much detail last time…<\/p>\n
Here’s the specs on that computer I want to sell:<\/p>\n
P4a – 2.26 GHz
\n512MB PC1066 RAMBUS RAM
\nAsus P4T-533 Motherboard
\nSoundblaster Audigy (provides sound and IEEE1394 for iPod)
\nGeForce 4 Ti4200 256MB RAM (Gainward GeForce 4 Ultra\/650 TV\/DVI Golden Sample, I believe)
\nAdaptec 2940UW SCSI Card
\n8x Yamaha SCSI CD-RW
\nPlextor UltraPlex (32x, I think) CD-ROM Drive
\nIBM Server-class 10\/100 NIC
\nMylex eXtremeRAID 3000 Fibre Channel Controller w\/256MB Cache
\n30m Fibre Channel HSSDC<->DB9 Cable
\nCustom external fibre channel enclosure supporting four drives.
\nFour 9GB 10,000RPM Seagate ST39102FC Drives
\nNikao Doggie Case
\nUltra Quiet Power Supply<\/p>\n
There are pictures of everything available here:
\nDoggy Case: http:\/\/www.dingleberrypie.com\/gallery\/doggie
\nFibre Channel Enclosure: http:\/\/www.dingleberrypie.com\/gallery\/fibrechannel
\nFibre Channel Benchmarks: http:\/\/www.dingleberrypie.com\/gallery\/fc_benchmarks<\/p>\n
The 9GB drives can be replaced with any size Fibre Channel drives, which are all available cheaply off of eBay. In the machine’s current configuration, it’s benchmarking with disk reads and writes that are over 160MB\/sec (http:\/\/www.dingleberrypie.com\/gallery\/fc_benchmarks\/aac). Faster disks or a different RAID config could change this both ways.<\/p>\n
Also, I’m looking at selling this machine because I want to get a PPC970-based PowerMac G5. It works perfectly fine and is fully functional as my home workstation. I’ll reinstall XP and have everything tweaked before it gets to whoever wants it. I’m thinking $1600 for the main machine, fibre channel array, and connecting hardware.<\/p>\n
