hookin 486's together....

[drdeath]

i saw a post a little while back about someone who was gonna hook up like 20 486 comps together to create a kinda "super computer". i was wondering if someone could point me to a web site that would show/explain how to go about doing this.
Thanx!

I hope you know what you're getting into. You need EXTREME technical knowledge and funding to be able to do this. Also a LOT of electricity and a stable supply of it.

20 Comps w/ 235w PS's = 4700 watts of power

Plus you need a monitor for your Server Node and power for a hub/switch, plus an Air Conditioner. All those comps get REALLY hot & will actually heat up a room quite a bit.

Use this for inspiration!
