Hello Multiprocessing experts.
One of my clients gave me their old server and I'm thinking about using it as a work station / gaming machine / small file server / everyday computer. The main problem is that the Aopen motherboard does not have an AGP slot among other things. I'm thinking about buying a new motherboard and reusing my processors, ram, etc.
Here's some of the specs of the parts I would like to reuse
1. Xeon 2.4 processors
2. 4x 512mb PC2100 ECC Registered ram
3. Adaptec 2010s Zero channel raid card (motherboard has SCSI on board)
4. 3x 10000 rpm hard drivers 36gb ultra 320 scsi
I need a recommendation for a motherboard that can use these parts. Onboard SCSI and the ability to use my 0 channel card would be nice but I could also probably come up with a single channel scsi raid card in order to use my drives.
Here's some of the features that I would like
1. Needs an AGP slot
2. Needs to not be absolutely huge. I don't mind buying a big case but I don't want a monster.
3. I also need a recomendation for a psu. My current psu is very noisy.
4. I would like something that is relatively easy to setup. I have built plenty of computers but I have never built a dual processor machine
5. I would like a motherboard that I could find easily (commonly available on Ebay) and hopefully under $100. I wouldn't spend $500 for a board when I could just scrap the whole project and get a Core 2 duo machine.
Thanks for the help
