Hey everyone,

Putting my machine up for sale, I did actually install an OS, just booted her up to make sure the whole setup works.
Has Server installed and I loaded up 4 virtual installs of windows 7 in the Hyper V setup. Works like a beast!


I will include Server 2008 64-bit and all the extra motherboard accessories.

Shoot me a PM with any questions, I built this baby with some money I didn't really have
and now I need it back, that's why she's up for sale. Parts are for the most part all 2-3 weeks old.

Heatware under, 6foot4geek

$1000 Shipped, US only unless other arrangements are made.

Specs:
4x AMD Opteron 8347 Quad Core 1.9GHz
Tyan Thunder n4250QE motherboard
2x Western Digital 2TB HDD
1x 500GB (brand?) 500GB HDD
2x Western Digital 250GB HDD

I have a similar build, only using older Barcelona cores...:(


And no case, thanks for letting me conclusively know the HAF 932 is beastly enough to contain all this :)
 
LOL bump for insanity.. You use it to game too it looks like.. gnarly..
 
Yessir! All that goodness fits in the HAF 932, the top fan has to be removed but I replaced it with 2x120mm fans. I went into the local tech shop and they let me play with the display case to make sure it would work. :D

Hey, one question I've always had:

Do the little black brackets that come with your mobo let you use normal AM2/AM3 CPU HSF mounts?

I have those little brackets, but I never figured out what they were for until recently (and the noisey 60mm dynatrons are gonna be the death of me).

Thank you very much for your time!
 
And they said tablets were the future of computing....

bump for wanting this
 
No, those brackets do not let you mount normal AM2 or AM3 HSFs, I had to look around abit to get some decent HSF's that would cool these and be quiet, cause you're right those nasty dynatron are frickin loud and I didn't want that.

I wish they made a 4 socket board for those 6 core Xeon's :D 24 cores baby, that's the future of computing!

I wish they made a 8 socket board for those 6 core Xeon's :D 24 cores baby, that's the future of computing!

Ah :( I just hope the CPU HSF I just ordered fit my quad 1207F board, then... otherwise, I will have 4 useless ASUS HSF for AMD...


Anyhow, 8socket for 6core Xeons?

E7400 Dunnington is your route. Except Dunnington was a worthless load of junk that was 3 Penryn dies on the same... die :eek: 6cores, 8sockets.

It was overtaken recently by E7500 "Beckton," which is a serious entry by Intel.

8 cores on the Nehalem architecture, 16threads... upto 8 sockets :eek: :eek:
 
just curious as to what the original purpose of the machine was? hyper-v/esx server, gaming, folding, or just so that you could look at it and say "f:cool:ck yea"?
 
I hadn't decided... Webhosting, FTP and folding was what I had in mind... although after I built it yes, "Fuck yeah" was def. all I could say :D haha

hell, you could have done all that and more. good luck on the sale
 
I have the exact same setup in my basement, only I have 8x2gb ram. Tell me, how did you attach the top left of the MB to the case?

get standoffs, drill and tap holes (after bending off/dremeling the top tabs near the top of most ATX mobos).
 
Bump, nice system. Reminds me of this...
