Farm news
I have just 1 or 2 of the Intel GPU machines crunching overnight at the moment. The Parallella's and Raspberry Pi's are still running 24/7 though.

I have ordered a couple of new 6 core/12 thread machines to replace my oldest i7's which are also 6 core/12 thread. As the new machines will be running GTX750Ti's I have taken them out of the dual GPU cruncher and given them to the shop for the first build and ordered another pair for the 2nd build. This brings the Intel GPU part of the farm up to 6 machines.

Old specs
ASUS P6T motherboard
Kingston HyperX memory 12Gb, DDR3-1600 (3 x 4Gb sticks)
Intel core i7-970 (6 core/12 thread) 3.2Ghz
Corsair H80 water cooling system. Corsair fans replaced with Noctua fans
Intel 520 series 120Gb SSD
WD 500Gb HDD
Palit GTX660 graphics 2Gb, OC edition
Seasonic 750w power supply 80+ bronze
CM Storm Sniper case

New specs
ASUS X99-A motherboard
Kingston HyperX memory 16Gb DDR4-2133 (4 x 4Gb sticks)
Intel core i7-5820k (6 core/12 thread) 3.3Ghz
Corsair H80 water cooling system, Corsair fans replaced with Noctua fans
Intel 520 series 120Gb SSD
WD 1Tb HDD
2 x EVGA GTX750Ti graphics
Seasonic 750w power supply 80+ bronze
Fractal Designs ARC midi R2 case

As you can see almost the same, except its faster and has dual GPU's. The old machines will go up on eBay as a complete system unless I get an offer for them in the next fortnight or so.


Update 27th of October
I have dropped off the bits that I had to contribute to this 1st build. unfortunately its delayed for 2 weeks because memory is out of stock and got back-ordered.
