You could just ask the seller which type of case it is as you are interested to know if it would fit into your rack :P :P
Have to agree with the layout... That's killer for me... Don't really want to buy another case :(
I kinda would need / want something a bit more standard...
~Bex
Who needs a case anyway!
Well I sorta do - else the lads might spill drinks on my PC at LAN :P
*turns up with cardboard box*
- "omg what's with the crap PC love?"
- "Crap? ...have you seen what's inside? THE POWER OF GOOGLE!!!"
- "WOW! So why the 5h!t case?"
- "...no case can contain the power of Google"
~Bex
cardboard box ftw!
wait... its got non standard power aswell.... So this requires a special psu or modding... Has anyone confirmed to get this to work? hmm.... I am not so sure anymore... :( I don't want 4 boards I can't do squat with..

I smell Finnish wish to buy this board :)
If the board will indeed work without days of setting it up, I'm in for sure. I don't really care about a case, I'll just run it on a bench or fab something quick.
What're the option for heat sinks? Anyone research this yet?
I'd need two more Danger Den TDXs if I wanted to water cool it :rofl:
Actually, that may be the cheapest option for me. I have a single rad and 2 DD TDX blocks with universal mounts.. TDX unis are dirt cheap these days. I'd need a backplate for the board, though...
Sureee but it'll be too expensive for me atm =PQuote:

Every and each of us can get a case, RAM, CPU and even the MB for a few $ more. A bunch of nerds should go bulk on hiring somebody to modify the BIOS.
A custom BIOS for OCing all 4 CPU on a Quad-socket MB is more attractive, and may convince more people to go bulk. I don't know how good these CPUs will OC, but it can be worth investigating the possibilities.
Sam, won't work. It's not only bios that makes boards OCable, it's also the HW, and in server world it's usually the hw which keeps us OCing em.
You are right about the past. But as you see in this thread, these double/quad-socket MB is not only for conservative sever-guys, any longer. Many OCers are looking at these MB too, and that's why EVGA has started working on RS2.
I believe it is possible to convince a AMD MB-makers to make a OC-able double/quad-socket MB. Specially if several nerds go bulk on pushing (and rubbing) it. Maybe some smart MB-makers will go for making both the MB and BIOS.
Somebody call me? :DQuote:

@skycrane: thanks mate!
- artemmx x 2 ( Canada shipping )
- Bail_w x 1 ( 65 bucks max) .. up top now that price is not possible ( bigger quantity might make it doable)
- OldChap x 1 ( UK shipping )
- me x 2 ( will order on the last part of may, hopefully with some of you guys)
- Jaws x 1 ( IICR budget was 70 bucks which is same case as Bail_w : not doable for the time being)
- Fhqwhgads6680 x 4 ( wanted em to fit into rack cases which can be done but not with regular ones as the board is 16 x 13 ")
- a friend of mine x 1 ( lost interest when I told him he should do some wiring)
Forget it. i dont want it anymore.
no prob
Whats the current estimated price on the boards? I could probably afford a board but not anything else at this time.
+1 on what board/procs
best I've been able to find on ebay these days was for a pair of 8354s at 300+shipping to canada (and only a pair O_o)
there was that one seller of 8356 processors that had them, but he wasnt shipping to canada
75 I guess . I will wait until the last days of May to close our bulk buy ( although I do not see many people interested :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:Quote:
