Alright, so I am going for the gold here and am going to attempt to make a 5 node system (one main computer and 4 nodes, or slaves). Here is the basic list I am using, adapted from http://www.cacr.caltech.edu/beowulf/tutorial/building.html.
24-port network switch 1
Motherboard 5
CPU 5
PC cases 5
128 MB SDRAM SIMMs 10
100 Mb/s ethernet adapters 6
HDD 5
SVGA adapter 5
CD-ROM 1
Keyboard 1
Monitor 1
Monitor/keyboard 4 way switch boxes 2
keyboard extension cables 4
video extension cables 4
network cables 6
Surge Protector outlets 1
Total Nodes 5
Sorry about the formatting...
I am currently downloading Fedora (open source redhad), opensolaris (open source solaris), mandriva (updated mandrake linux), and xubuntu (ubuntu with the xfce window manager instead of gnome)
