As far as building. I don't need the latest/greatest. I tend to build the best I can get for around $500 or so. I am a slave to gaming, sort of. I built my last confuser just for BF2142. Twin video, 2 gig ddr2 ram...

The best you can put in a V100 is an opteron 939 chip. Unfortunately that is all I know of the V100 is that they are stuck at the 939 level of performance for the moment. They may upgrade the compatibility to the AM2 or 1207 pin chips but not that I know about just yet.
I am a SUN micro systems Fan! as you can read in my signature!

My Suggestion is by the most/best you can afford.

Welcome Bender 10 !!! You won’t see me on the Boinc boards because all I do is D2OL but I’d love for you to stop by and give D2OL a try... OK, it was cheesy but I’ve got to recruit somehow... No matter what projects you run we're happy to have you and again Welcome...

Welcome to the team Bender10.

Other projects that are non-BOINC and easy to run are eOn and Pi Segment.

Have fun

Welcome to AMD Users Bender10. I know that Pi Segment favors AMD processers I'm not sure about EON. Both have short work units. Eon is very short at several a minute and Pi Segment work units run about 25-30 minutes. If you have any slowwwww machines there is a project called Extreme Lab that they excell at. No matter what you end up running there's only one rule "Have Fun!"

Majestic-12 is good for slow machines too. It's more of a bandwidth hog than a processor hog. If you have limited bandwidth I've found that you can tweak it down to reduce the number of open buckets and number of crawler-bots and and not really effect anything else, nor does it cause headaches with your service provider.

It's not a lot compared to some but my +3800 can run MJ-12 at 200k - 250k URLs/day while crunching for Protiens@home on one core and D2OL@home on the other. I also use the same rig with little to no detectable issues with online access and though it is a bit slow loading up WH-40K (single-player) once I get started the game runs fine.
