Well, the core2 duo system is up and running. It is a bit flaky, not sure if it is a heat issue or what. Trying to sort it out. A bit annoying. But hopefully nothing too major. Having it crunch some BOINC projects right now. It is mostly for working with CUDA, but I have too much going on to sit down and write that stuff today. Hell, the case isnt even completed yet. Think that comes before writing the software. Want at least the major mods done. Not so worried about the purely aesthetic part like painting it.

Sempron

Well, have the AMD sempron system up and running again. Have one of my major UPS backups up and running. Slowly rebuilding my network and the such. The sempron is overclocked to 2.2 ghz and dedicated to running boinc at the moment. Hopefully I can get some of my other toys up and running fairly soonish. Just so much to do to make it all work. And really need to get new disks, ram, cases, and power supplies for most. Makes it difficult. But I am slowly tackling them.

I am finally getting off of my rear and starting to learn CUDA. Got an Nvidia Quatro NVS 290 graphics card on ebay to use with the Core2 Duo system I am getting from Griz. Should be a good initial workstation for writing and testing CUDA code. Will eventually build a i7 quad core setup, possibly even with a couple Tesla boards, but have to start small for now.
