So, I am president of my university's science club and because of that it was kinda my duty to set up a server for us. I've gathered scrap hardware that university had and built a PC which runs Ubuntu Server 17.04.
It is a Git server (Gogs) for hosting of projects we are working now, a fileserver (NFS) for our club use and after talk with our faculty head I've installed BOINC with following project selected:
- DrugDiscovery@Home
- SETI@Home (so GPU won't be bored)
- Cosmology@Home
PC specs:
- Intel Pentium D 2.66 GHz
- AMD Radeon HD 4850
- 4GB of DDR2 RAM
- 80GB Seagate ATA HDD
- 40GB WD Caviar ATA HDD for repository backups.
- Some shitty 400W PSU
- Some MSI motherboard
///I think that I might do some benchmarking about which projects will suit best this PC.
