Remember, just DDR2-400 ECC REG and nothing else. I'd suggest the Kingston 1 gig sticks as I know they work as thats what I used.
I tested a pair of DDR2-533 ECC REG and will not post..
u guys want final pics of my sammy?
She's not super cable managed, but you can see the yate 140 i screwed right on top.
The problem is that I don't have the cash on hand to buy one right now. Uni holidays start next week, so I should be able to work 4-5 days a week, but until then (say 2-3 weeks from now) I wouldn't be able to pay for it.

Just decided, I'm going to mail down the board and a xtra pair of HS to Tiro.Quote:

I'm not sure how far away you guys are from one another so you'll have that postage also but should still be cheaper than doing 2 packages from here to you both.
willing to do whatever it takes to help u guys out :up:Quote:

And Tiro, YGPM.

must still be a hell of a lot cheaper from you to him than 2 packages from me to you and him so expect a board and 4 HS, then send him a board,2HS, and one of those 3 backplates you ordered.Quote:

Can you get away with a U1 rackmount for these, or would I be looking for at least a U2? If I can find a cheap enough rack-mount case, I'd probably do that route as opposed to something like an Antec Titan (which I've seen for as low as AU$100, which is pretty good for an eATX tower :p:).
Eller
yep, iirc, they'll easily fit in a 1U... the HS that u'll be getting are made for it anyway :up:Quote:

Eller
so, how many backplates are needed for the motherboard, is it just one back plate?
Yep, from my understanding one backplate has two sets of mounting holes, so it'll do both HSF's.Quote:

Dave, I'm a little confused on the backplates. Do I need to get my own one or is are you going to send one to me?
Just one backplate per machine.Quote:

I am sending two of them with the 4 board and Jaco already has two backplates, the SKT159's from Supermicro, same but look a tad different so thats 4 backplates that will be in Europe for 4 boards.. Understood now?:D
Yeah, that's what I was confused about :up:Quote:
