OK, here's the deal. I'm pissed. REAL PISSED. There is a big nasty noise behind us, and it's the EVGA LawnMower.
So, I'm Gonna pull all the stops. 1,000$ in folding hardware.
I need you guys to put together a "shopping list" for me. Try to go used prices, like FS/FT stuff. I only have a few requests
1) I need a new 4 way mother board and a PSU that can handle 2 9800 GX2 (local friend of mine is thinking of bailing on 2)
2) I would like to stay away from SMP if possible, I fear that as time goes on CPU points will only go down more
3)I have a rack, but no shelves for it, take that in mind
4) Please try to keep things some what simple, I don't have the time to be doing crazy projects, but setting up a board and a few cards each few days shouldnt be too hard
5) Try not to rape my power bill too bad, Ive got a server "room" with a dedicated 20 Amp line just for the rack, but try to go max PPD/Watt (sustainment is the key here!)
6) I will need all components, not just a mobo and grfx card
7)???
8) PROFIT!!
SO, tell me what to do!!
FOLD ON FOR 33!!
EDIT- I know I said I was short on cash, just to clarify, this is from a loan, didnt want to tap into it, but its for a good cause right?
