Raspberry Pi

[»Xog]

polix are you playing with settings on the forums cuz my posts keep coming out crazy weird:

 

Anyone thought about using these for SS servers?

 

Some linkage:

Can't wait to buy one.

 

So far, the most interesting idea I've read so far was:

 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

QUOTE:

or should i order 40 and create my own cloud in a computer? ;=)

buy a bigtower, place in a 48port switch, put in a DC powersuply that brings 12v (because its the cheapest), create from wood slots for the raspberry"s …..

total price:

raspberrys = 35$ * 40

Tower = 100$

Powersupply = 20$

Switch (used one)= 30$

4 GB micro-SD = 5$ * 40

———————————–

1750$

Power consumption: less than 40W

Processor power: 28Ghz

Ram: 10GB

Disk : 160GB (with ultra high IOP)

————————————-

Costs to get the first placed super computer:

9123 * 1750$ = 16M$

9123 * 40W = about 365kW

9123 * 28Ghz = 255"444 Ghz

9123 * 10 GBram = 91"230 GBram

9123 * 160GB Disk = 1.2 Exabyte

And you will have the worlds fastest super computer, if you compare this to the real price of the todays super computer 340M$ …. its the cheapest solution…. ;=))))))

They're extremely useful devices for certain uses, but for the average user they're not as good as they're cracked up to be. I'll be buying a few for my company whenever they're generally available (I missed out on the first round of 'em) to act as USB to Ethernet converters.

 

It's not really a good target for a SS server. SubGame isn't really possible, and I don't even know if ASSS would compile properly to an ARM target.

Cheers for the link Xog; still just waiting on a shipment. They got delayed as one of the jacks were incorrect in a large batch so they had to reengineer them.

Also getting R-Pi. They can (or will soon) come with Linux preloaded on a flash card. I will be compiling Phoenix SS for Linux (server, client,editor) as well (Lion) as Mac and Windows. I am anxious to see what they can do. The optional GERT board also looks cool,

i'm on some waiting list. I want to use it to simulate bad networks. I'm getting sick of using 3 laptops.

I also looked at CuBox which has 4 times the ram, but it also has a long waiting list.

I'm going to be using them for work as well! These will be so perfect for turning my scanner thats plugged into my PC into a portable scanner.Just gotta plug my scanner into the usb port! (after opening a notepad or some such of course)then email myself the list of barcodes I scanned for processing I no longer have to bring everything over to my desk to scan!Portable scanners can sell for as much as a few thousand dollars.. >_

ground-breaking news, everyone.

Sending servers into low orbit to avoid being shut down by the authorities?

 

Sounds legit.

Hmmm...sounds pretty "out there" but will be interesting to see how it comes along.
