Photos: Five years of Mini-ITX mods
When Glen Gardner built his mini-cluster, he was a system administrator working on the commodity supercomputing project at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.
"I had wanted to build a Beowulf cluster for several years," he says. "The trouble was that I live in a small efficiency apartment and the issues with cost, size, noise, heat and power had kept me from pursuing it. When I encountered the Mini-ITX boards they seemed to offer a workable alternative. I was able to construct a 12-node Beowulf cluster at a reasonably small size with less power use, (that) generated less heat, and created less noise than a typical Pentium 4 workstation. I was also able to realize usable computing horsepower that amounted to an aggregate performance as fast as, or faster than any singe PC that could be purchased at the time."
