Just finished my system up and will be writing an article about it including temps and such over at LinuxHardware.org . So what do you think? Anything you'd change? Still have to get my side panel on with the window and dual cold cathodes.

SPECS:
Dual Opteron 248
2GB Corsair PC3200 Register Low-Latency DDR
Tyan Thunder K8W Motherboard

Yea, that really is one hell of a setup :eek: I didnt realize that they had already made Opteron waterblocks. Its a shame how you can't overclock those suckers.

nuclearsnake, is 2000mhz the highest stable speed for your 1700+'s? I cannot reach anything higher with mine, not even 2070mhz :mad:

What stepping are your 1700s ?
 
New Pics of the Dually (probably the last before it's sold to fund a dual Xeon).

JIUHB. Tbred B's.

eighteen, why would you sell that off? I would just wait until opterons get cheaper rather than getting a slight upgrade to xeons from that rig.

I'm selling mobo/cpu/hsf...not the rest. And I have a couple reasons: First, I'm getting a killer deal on this intel board. Second, even though on paper, the 2.0 or 2.4 xeons I'll probably end up getting will be slower than my current setup, a single xeon beats my beast in a lot of graphics apps (thanks to heavy SSE2 optimizations).

Third, the platform has more headroom and Fourth, its a far better resale value towards an opteron later. :)

That depends on what Intel has at the time....all else equal, I have had a better track record with my Intel boxes but they always cost a lot more. I have no brand loyalty that will permit me to sacrifice a better system but then again, its hard to beat a stock-speed Intel chipset/mobo/cpu combo for solid reliability. We'll see.

And yes, quite right. :D They may have more in them but the board doesn't (and I don't want to remod them to a higher multipler).

Good case-in-point: These chips cost me $47 each! Thats some serious horsepower for the buck. The deal on the intel board tempted me but damn those xeons are expensive.

But i have a lil problem - i hit a wall @ 100-120MB/s seq. reads :(

A 4 drive RAID0 should do bout 160MB/s ... looks like my 66MHz/64bit Slot is runnin 33MHz/32bit :eek: Help :(

I'm running 2 duallys right now and am converting all the other rigs I have to dual within the next 4 months.

No they are not the same. Both are in identical Chieftec cases but if you look you can see one has a completely painted interior and the other one is stock. The dual 2400 setup also has a mirror mounted in the upper part of the case that you can see in the pic. It also has 2 80mm fans mounted into the top of the case in addition to the 2 80mm ones on the back and 2 80mm in the lower front side. I have not modded the dual 1900 system case yet. When I do it will also have all the same mods done to it.

Those rigs are my servers. I have a home Lan setup that consists of the following:

No offense, but I do not waste energy on any of those folding/seti programs. My systems are for entertainment purposes only. If no one is using it then it is off.

I have taken flak for this on other forums but I see no reason to waste my power. I have nothing against folding and think everyone should have a charitable outreach in their life. I do mine in other ways that are tangible to me.

I help support a summer camp for kids who could never afford it. Between the 9 of us we send 80 kids to camp every year for 2 weeks. I see their faces and their smiles.

The money I would spend on power for folding goes to that cause.
 
This thread is one I started over at OC. The very 1st post is my old setup. My new setup is on page 8 Linkage
