Well - I'm keeping the processors I bought for the zMAXDP: two Opteron 252, socket 940. I'm also keeping the memory (2 Gig Crucial) and drives (2 Western Digital 400 Gig SATA drives for use in a RAID 0 set up). So I've ordered an Asus K8N-DL nVidia nForce4 Pro 2200 motherboard (PCI-e) and a BFG Tech GeForce 7900 GT 256 MB to put in it. For containment I got the Antec Sonata-II case with a Liberty 500w PSU. I also went a little overboard and ordered two Swiftech MCX6400-V Coolers for the CPUs. With the cluster f*ck of the returns and everything the total cost is going to be just under $3000. That assumes, of course that all this new stuff will actually work together! ;^) Jim Davis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:200531 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
