Is it worth it to use 15k sas drives in this thing?

Now to decide.. six or quad core, go for clock speed or low power draw.. decisions...
They're not RAID cards at all and only support what you're looking for.Wish I could pick one of these up... I'd probably ditch all the hardware though and put my own stuff in. I would like to expand my ZFS system. This would be a fantastic case.
Do those PCIX raid cards support NON-RAID mode ?

Found some hexcores for cheap: Opteron 2419 package of 2 for $19.99 +shipping
If you find a good price on heatsinks let us know
Anyone running 64bit VM's on these?
The CPU specs show they should be able to.
However when loaded with esxi 5.1, I'm unable to do so. Not too familiar with AMD's lineup.
Thoughts?

Still smells like new PC guts inside, intoxicating
Arrived well packed, clean mem test, now to wait for extra ram and CPU's to show up.
How are everyone's drive LEDs doing? Are they lighting up with just the SATA cables from the PCI-X cards? Not sure if I should be buying any 10-pin to 10-pin cables?
Cases definitely looked brand new - I echo the similar sentiments that I couldn't find a spec of dust on any of them!
Does anyone know what rails fit on the case? I tried the MCP-290-00057-ON that Supermicro says work but these do not line up with the hooks
Current mods:
2x AMD Opteron 2425HE (6core)
2x Noctua U12DO
Nice setup. Did yours start as a DC or QC? What did you have to do to get the 6 cores running?
Did you spend more on the processors or the heatsinks?!
I enjoy looking at all these mods that people do to these servers, I followed that other thread that was linked in post 7 or so and looked through that gallery. A lot of these make my 4x2TB raid 5 server look pretty weak.
Just out of curiosity, what are people using all this storage for? Directly ripping blue rays uncompressed?
FYI, I actually went ahead and contacted tamsolutions to see if i could purchase just the chassis and they said they had some that may have bad ports. they tested one for me came up with no bad ports and put up a private listing for me just for chassis. came out to 249 shipped,
