Meuchel Computer Services & Office Supplies

          Meuchel Computer Services has started to collect old computers to make into a “crunching farm.”   The idea behind this project is to put computers into service working for the World Community Grid.  Crunching farms are uses to do work that normally a Super Computer would do such as processing data for good causes like cancer research, which is the project that we will be participating in.  We are looking for computers with good processors and lots of memory but any computer will work to add to the grid.  No hard drives are necessary as all the processing is done in memory and the computers boot from a CD-ROM.  What better way to let your old PC live on by allowing it to try to help someone else live on.  Who knows, if we can help find a cure we may help save a loved one of your own.

          Most research facilities can afford to purchase their own computing power but medical research facilities need all the help they can get.  Unfortunately since this is a project that MCS is donating it’s time and resource to, we are unable to pay for any used computers, but know that this is as good of a cause as donating money to the National Cancer Society.
