Hi! This is a general hardware question, instead of a linux one..please don't fry me over this.
I am thinking about assembling a computing only unit since I have a need to do a huge amount of computing for my research. I only want MB+CPU+RAM. everything else is through network. And I want the unit to be as small as possible. So I am thinking about making my own case. (I want to make it as compact as the Sun IPX, but I think that's impossible as even the micro ATX is bigger than IPX). I am thinking about an AMD 1.4G. Now here comes the tricky part. Not many selection for MB if I want to choose mATX, so I might go with ATX. but the ATX ps is rather big compare to a SFX ps. From the info that I gather, the form factor are the same for ATX and SFX, except SFX does not provide -5V, used in ISA bus..so should be ok? any suggestion on a cheap MB+1.4XP? I am thinking about the ECS k7s5a +1.4G for $170 deal from pricewatch. thanks for any info. chen -- ~ __ Freedom of Choice 'v' / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ // \\ / /__ / / / \/ / / /_/ / \ \/ / /( )\ /_____/ /_/ /_/\__/ /_____/ /_/\_\ ^`~'^ _______________________________________________ Siglinux mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.utacm.org/mailman/listinfo/siglinux
