Approximate Purchase Date: Sometime in August.
Budget Range: $750-$1350
System Usage: Data crunching
Parts Not Required: Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg.com
Country of Origin: Canada
Parts Preferences: I would prefer Intel.
Overclocking: It's possible that I would but I don't know if it would help. For example: Let's suppose i have an algorithm looking for a solution for a really complex equation, and then doing that ten million times. will overclocking help in that situation? I was thinking just maybe adding more cores in that situation instead of overclocking.
OS: Linux
Sli or Crossfire: No
Monitor Resolution: Eventually I want to hook it up to a big flat screen tv, so pretty high i guess.
Additonal Comments: At the moment, what i would like is to have is a data crunching server that i can use for work. i dont have a lot of money, so what i want is something that i will be able to upgrade over time (adding a second cpu, more ram, ssd, etc.) as i get more money and as my computational needs increase. I would be willing to invest in a good case, motherboard and cpu but hold off on the video card, ram, and memory until i can afford it and/or really need it.
Basically I would use this to run all my analyses remotely from school, work or whatever. So mainly data crunching and things of that nature. nothing graphical (at the moment).
But what's really important is that in the future i can add new parts as i need them. So if all of a sudden I have so start opening lots of big fmri files simultaneously, i can just go out and buy more ram.
