Dedicated SuperValueWebServerBox Quiz
Recently my teenager son had a project to build a supercomputer with less than 1k$ which funny enough will probably use for a client. Might be great idea to build the ultimate value dedicated server for collocation.
Can someone guess the unixbench score and MOST important the unixbench/dollar?
Does someone have any other ideas?

well you can build E3 1230 server from supermicro with ther case will cost you around $800
Are you kidding me. We are talking 8x4x2.5Mhz over a RAMDRIVE
Why do you call 'supercomputer' a thing which is just a casual server?
8000?
Supercomputer with less than $1000? 2.5MHz? I don't think you have a teenager son, I think you are one. Judging by your recent posts..
We are not talking about CPU-GPU CUDA TFLOPS type of HW here but on how to use off the self used hardware to build the fastest web server conceivable under 1k$ that will make serverbear max score a laughing stock.
Who exactly assigned a project like this? His school? A competition?
You are right ... corrected
One of these science fair projects ,,,

The fact you are ready, willing and actually seem excited to compare anything with anyone in an online pissing match shows the true colors in itself. If you feel someone is trolling you, you just let it roll off and move on because it is just what they do.
Maturity is about letting the important stuff be dealt with and the small stuff roll off, that however has no age limit as to when it kicks in.
