any update on that project? has the unit arrived? and how is the noise? and how much did you pay the import tax on it?
for those interested by the subject there is a thread here with more details.
Taming the C6100 - Page 2
As for the power consumption figures I quote "
Idle: 174w at 66dba
Folding@Home GROMACS 100% CPU load on all 8 CPUs: 489w at 77.4dba (power saving enabled)
"
Although if it would be only for the folding part I think throwing one of the new Nvidia cards should do more PPD than that system, at 50% less power and a lot more silent.
