Re: [Rant]I've been thinking... Its an amazing amount of time involved to put that together. Many on the Seti team have gotten together to get the parts, donate money ect. Research on what boards and cpu's to use. Where the best prices are. Testing and burn in of the boards.
Not to mention the cost of running the monster as well as the heat produced by it and the time in maintaining it.
It's alot of work and a major time commitment from some folks.
Thats what I can think of what it takes.

**edit** P.S. I have a small idea of what this takes as I am on the board of directors for the Crunchenstien (yes there is a Board of Directors for it).
This is being discussed here: »[Rant]I've been thinking...

I'm also really happy we have the experience here that went through it all. And if we go ahead with it, we will have a lot of help. Not only from the members of this team, but also with no doubt that members of team Starfire will jump in and give there advice.  -- To find a cure for Cancer I joined Team DiscoveryTo find ET I joined Team Starfire |

This link should give you an idea of what our team members donated for Crunchenstein two. »IMPORTANT!! CII 100% Commited Day 10 Update
#1 was about the same, and this is excluding all the parts that where donated by team members.

No problem. I actually had some free time today to sit and think about more things than perl and oracle stuff so you got my 2 cents. 
Also as a Seti team member and TSC team member, thanks for all your input and visibility you give both of these projects (oh ya.. UD too.)
