It says not for resale on the website when you purchase the bundle. I take this as nothing in the bundle is for resale. However, I see tons of these bundles on sale at ebay, so I bet you could get away with it. I'd rather not though, I'd like to keep this stuff and use it myselft.

the mobo they give out(2882/K8SD Pro)is compatible with the Opterons. The question is on the 2895/K8WE that most of are us that are looking into making it a workstation instead of a server are wanting to use.
I've got everything except the RAM...I'm hoping to have them by Wednesday...
There are people at K8WE.com that have c0s working, from what I understand. according to them, they might not OC well, but I'm not going to be doing that anyway.
If htey don't work...anyone want some C0s? I've invested far too much into a dual opteron system to just turn around and go A64...I'm in it for the long haul now
According to microsofts own website, there is no enterprise with anything other than 25 CAL's.

Well I've got everything but the Opterons. My mobo arrived today. After I get off work, I'll go home and molest it.
By molest I mean touch it, read the manuals, look at it. Not go Michael Jackson on it.

The video card giveaway SUCKED although I really shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.
X600 AIW. X600?? Isn't that like 4 pixel pipelines/9600 part?
And to boot it's pci-e. If I had a pci-e board I'd be doing sli. In any case, I got $150 for it on ebay

Thanks for the pics of the merchanidise posted earlier. I was just wondering if you need some weird server case or just a regular ATX full tower or so. I'm fond of Antec's old steel towers and I was just wondering if that would fit. I hope to go to the NJ show assuming I can take my final exam early wish me luck. Also, do these opterons happen to come with heatsinks? Maybe someone could recommend a good one if they don't.

the old Antecs do work.
I made a list of cases that work earlier in this thread.

True...but I wouldn't mind something I could maybe....USE. An x800 of any type that is agp would have been fantastic. Even if I wanted to keep this thing, I don't have a single box with a pci-e slot.

I'm going to the Tampa show tonight. As far as cases go, I bought several Chieftec Dragon cases on sale for $19 each a few months ago. They are pretty much the same as the Antec SX1000 series cases. I have a couple of those as well. Either one will take those 12" x 13" boards. Anyway, I looked through my spare parts bin and pulled out a pair of 160 Gig SATA drives, a 16x DVD+/-RW drive, floppy (I don't know why.), Envy24 sound card, and a couple of matched HS/fans. (My spare parts bin is my friend!) My only out of pocket expenses were for 1 gig registered Corsair memory and a 500 watt EPS12V power supply. Total expenses about $675 including the AMD deal. Looks like I will have my new video editing rig sooner than expected. Now all I need to do is research 64 bit editing software. Now it's time to stare at my clock for about the next 5 hours.
okay, so who can I send some live pictures to tonight when I go to the Tampa show?
basically I would need someone to give me their email address where I could send them some pictures of the show from my camera phone. then all you'd have to do is host them in this thread.
any takers? if so, send me a PM before 2:00pm EST today.

I'm looking for someone to pick up a server bundle for me. PM me with details, please.
Also, I have a friend in atlanta at the moment that might be able to pick one up for me instead. I tried to read through the thread to find this out, but 19 pages is just too long: when would he need to be there / what would he need to do to pick it up?
TIA

I've read that people have been able to OC the 3200 from 2Ghz to a stable 2.7Ghz with air cooling. That is some real value. I hope I will be able to do this. I know I need a new mountain bike more than a new computer but it's so tempting when the deal is so sweet. This with 2GB of RAM, two new SATA2 drives in RAID, and change out the 3200 for a dual core when they are available would be really sweet. must... resist....

Well the fact that its free is good. But yeah, a X600 is far from impressive. Even as an All-In-Wonder card.
For free, I am sure I could find some sort of use for it.

Right. In the grand scheme of things, ATi should really release a newer part to take the place of the 9600Pro/XT equivalent that is the X600. An X700Pro All in Wonder would be an awesome giveaway. The 9600 core is getting too old for games.

I sold my mobo for 287. expect around the same.
And as for the lack of dual cores, there aren't enough of them being made to just put them out in the bundles. This was asked in the Chicago Q/A.

so correct me if i'm wrong. but are you all basically saying that the dual cpu motherboard that comes with the bundles, doesn't even work with the processors they give you? just trying to be very clear on this.
Got back from Tampa and it wasn't all that impressive IMO...
Anyways, I was there to pick up the bundle and thats about it. It was located in a rather small conference room and all the manufacturer booths in the back of it. There were many rows of seats as expected and they ran out so some people had to stand. There were free refreshments(coke products I believe) and I think they would've even let you in if you hadn't registered earlier...It was right next to the casino floor and the buffet was right outside the doors. I didn't stay there long enough for the buffet but there looked to be a lack of dining seats so I imagine most people ate in the conference room without tables...
The room was pretty well air conditioned so no heat and no geek BO
Btw some parts are up for sale, I haven't decided which bundle I should keep so shoot me a pm with a reasonable/great offer and I'll be willing to do business. Remember, this isn't reselling, this is you walking past me and finding a bundle on the floor with me walking past you and finding money on said floor
On a side note, I probably won't sell anything which has a "not for resale" sticker on it

I cant wait till the show in Irvine!!
Ok, It has been settled. My girlfriend and I are going to the Burbank California show. I have the 27th and the 28th off. If anyone in the Phoenix Metro area wants to hitch a ride all we ask is to pitch in some cash for gas. We may or may not stay.the night it will depending on what everyone else wants to do. My girlfriend isn't going to be getting anything, so if someone is interested in us grabbing a bundle for them let us know. It will be Bundle Cost + Shipping + % of gas. You choose how you want it: FedEX, UPS, or USPS. Send me a PM with your addy if you want me to pick you up a bundle and I will run the numbers and let you know how much it would be including shipping. You can also send me an email at [username] at free.fr or gmail.com
