I love running Distributed Computing apps on my computers, it is my main hobby. Unfortunately, because of my inexperience, and possibly a bit of medically-caused paranoia, I'm hesitant to build one myself. My dad hates the responsibility of building my computers from parts, even though he has given in each time, and he has no interest in becoming my teacher.
I was wondering if anyone would be interested in either helping me find a place that would build a computer(for a fee), or maybe someone here could build me a computer. I'd pay for parts, the building fee is negotiable, depending on the person. I'm also willing to consider crunching time on that new box as possible payment. If someone wants to charge by the hour to build the machine, I'm willing to put a familiar name on the forums on the "honor system."
I have about $600 saved up, the amount this increases varies from month to month, but it's about $50-$60 a week, although it might go as long as a month or two without increasing because of "bookkeeping."
Ultimately, I'm hoping to make my next purchase a quad-core, so I'm placing this topic here, more as a bookmark than anything else.
