Professor Joel Adams and the student Tom Brown at the Calvin College have built their own super computer made out of standard components.
It has a capacity of 26.25 gigaflops and it’s size: it fits on your desk!
The components can be bought in practically every computer part dealer so you to can build one.
The computer is built as two “section” with four microATX moder-cards, each with AMD Athlon 64x 3800+ double core that have 2 gigabytes internal memory.
The price of this beast landed on $2470 USD which gave them a new record for the cheapest computer built with standard parts.
The power usage lands on 17,14 watt per gigaflop which means that on full power it uses around 450 watt.
