DragonMother is the latest addition to my little PC farm.

Its an IBM Netfinity 8500R X-Series Server.

At the moment it contains 2 Pentium III Xeon 700 Mhz Processors and 2 GB of 100 Mhz ECC Sdram.

Additionally it makes use of an IBM ServeRaid (SCSI) and an Fastrak Promise Ultra 100 (IDE) Controller to support multiple Harddisk Drives and an 3Com 10/100 XT Fast Ethernet Card.

It is powered by 3 redundant, hotplugable Power Supply Units - but acutally I use only one ( I don't need redundance at the moment, so I only use one for less power consumption).

It is planed to buy an additional Daughterboard to support another 4 Cpus and fill up the 2 open Cpus Slots on Board A. So - six IBM Xeon 700 Mhz Proccessors and one Daughterboard- please.

At the moment it uses Ubuntu Server Edition and Knoppix - but in futher we may upgrade to an Windows 2000 Advanced Server to use multiple Cpus.
