February 12, 2013 - Alex and I built servers 11 and 10 today. We did not install the GPU units, however, we did give them new motherboards, CPUs, power supplies, and hard drives. 11 went mostly smoothly until it was discovered that the movement had jostled the power switches connections causing difficulties with starting the computer up. The connections were eventually fixed and it is now running smoothly. 10 was constructed with little to no difficulties and is running smoothly as well.

February 14, 2013 - Alex and I continued construction of the servers today, completing the build (without GPUs) on servers 7-9. These servers went much easier and hopefully we have already encountered a majority of the difficulties that we will face with the remaining units. In addition we were installing Windows XP on the new computer in 405, but when I left to go to class the computer could not find a file off of Alex's disk.
