The Fujitsu, the Dell's crank it up when all the memory slots are filled and the DLs are just huge amounts of white noise. They're all drowned out by my EMC fibre shelves though. Those things have some screamers in them.
this is very sad do you guys really think xeons are gaming cpus?
just go with an i5 setup and you will get twice the power as 2 xeons
seeing that the liquid cooled system above has a 3way sli configuration i know he is not using that for mining its a gaming rig and with the money he spent on the xeons he would be getting better performance with an i5 but if u look at the computer above that one you can tell it is being used as a server witch is what xeons are made for.

Haven't racked these yet:
You need an HBA which has removable SFPs but other than that yeah just directly attached and I enabled initiator mode on the HBA.

Yeah just single drives, the shelves don't do anything except connect the disks to the loopAnd they just present 15 x LU's to the host I am guessing?
No actual smarts / controller ?
Specs are 4x8218, 8x 1gb, 2x72gb on the bottom one. 4x8421HE, 16x 1GB, 2x72GB, 2x300GB on the top one. Haven't put any more of my memory sticks into them yet from my pile on my desk.how loud are those hp's
whats the specs of those beasts
we need pics of inside too

I can't remember if I've posted this before but here's a picture of my old-as-the-sun database cluster lab. This is my own personal gear copped when one of my prior gigs did a hardware refresh. Each pizza box is dual-xeon.
6x IBM x336 servers (2x U320 SCSI HD in RAID-1, 2x 3GHz Xeon, 4GB RAM, Emulex LP-9002L HBA)
HP MSA1000 (14x72GB U320 SCSI HD, 2x 6-port FC switches, 256MB cache)
HP MSA30 (14x72GB U320 SCSI HD)
This lives in the colo of my current place of work, because running 10,020 watts of power supply gets really, really expensive at home.
Still nice to have more than one physical box, there are some things you can't do with just one box
Concentric,
A board or new cap ?
If you are ditching the old board can i have ? I'll fix the bad cap
Dual processor gaming glory. I'm not one for cases, so it runs naked.
Could use a couple more GPU's, too.
I like your choice of cases, but man, you need to clean those...
id just throw it in the garbage, that's nasty.
Dirty, well yea, top machine has been running for 10 years the bottom one has been running for 9 years, 24/7, with about 100CFM of air going through each of them. So lets see, between them that's around 3 billion liters of air have passed through them over their life span which is about the amount of air that passes through a Bugatti Veyron going 250 miles per hour for a month and a half continuously, which by the way would put about a quarter of a million miles on the Bugatti and it would have gone through 12,000 sets of tires at that speed.
Given that the Chieftech/Antec cases suck air from bottom front to top rear these machines have been busy sucking all the dirt off the floor for a decade. The replacement mITX boxes will be mounted 2 feet above the floor to the bottom of my desks to reduce the Hoover effect.
What is that gargantuan of a SATA card :O
Honestly that's not all that bad, I have seen worse while working on other peoples computers, First thing I do so when they tell me its running slow is to see if its overheating from dust and hair.
