I went to buy a 2U server case from this guy... I get there and he's all like... ya know this things just in the way.. here take it
So short story shorter FREE 2U Server Case!
I have laying around...
FX-55, 3800+ X2 (939)
2 Celeron somethings... (478)
P4 2Ghz (478)
3GBs of DDR400 memory...
One of those is getting born into a gameserver for lan parties, and 1 of those is gonna get born into a file server... and the rest for F@H ftw! (when I get more rack cases)
I need recommendations for cooling 2U server cases... since I have more room then a little 1U I dunno how much room I have to work with..
I was thinkin get a 1U heatsink and put a small adapter on it with a larger fan with the extra room... would that make it cool better to handle larger CPUs then the heatsink recommends? like those solid coper ones that Dayton uses or whatever... with like.. a 92mm or 80mm silent cat fan on it.. ya.. those are nice fans
Lapping the heatsink? Obviously helps but I'm not goin for OCing or anything just wanna keep the box cooler.
Case:

P.S
I don't wanna go buy a new processor that runs cooler or anything I wanna do with what I have... cause I can already see someone saying, just go buy a cheap Conroe those stay cooler so you don't have to do all that! pfft! pfft!
