At this rate XS is going to soak up the world sausageman supply!
I was thinking that, actually. I wonder how much of these Sossamans are snatched up by us. To my knowledge, we're the only team that runs them en masse. I think there's been a dozen or more sales in the past few months to our community--and for an item like Sossamans, I think that's the majority of the demand.
Still waiting on the package from Jaco to arrive...
The parts should arrive tommorrow depending on when he sent it.
Last week already! Damn logistics.
They don't want to deal.Quote:

That's an excellent price to be honest, $111.00 a pair shipped in the US..
So is the name gonna be changing to Team XSausageman soon or what?
Hey guys,
Just got my heatsinks & Backplate. Thanks Jaco :up:
Also found a pretty good deal on RAM.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1GB-2X512-DDR2...d=p3286.c0.m14
£27.90 for 2GB + £3.90 postage - £31.80 / $52.14 / €40.39
:D
2 x 1GB DDR2 PC2-3200 ECC REG
Seems the ebay 2.0's have been relisted after I forgot to buy. They're cheaper as well now.

I got my hands on a board recently as well, hence I'm buying two once Paypal tells me I have the funds. Still needing memory as well though, are these boards really as picky with memory? Should I just pay a bit extra and buy something from the compatibility list?

1.6GHz chips now down to $56 each , crawling down slowly :p:
I saw those before, shipping is around $30, for some reason it's cheaper to ship from the states/canada than from the UK (I'm in .eu). Really weird. Apart from that they seem to only accept credit card payments.Quote:

EDIT: The DDR2 ECC REG RAM I picked up was in fact DDR2, but it were Micron extra special chips with a physical DDR interface. Off to the retailer now to swap some parts!
The XS WCG team Demands to see some PICTURES :D
Crappy photo, I'm lazy. I'll make decent photos when I receive my CPU's and/or when I can be arsed to build it into a case.

Shhh :p:Quote:

I've found a nice cheap kit of PC2-3200 now anyway :p:
Will only be picking up 1GB now, just to get the system up 'n' running.
This memory speed thing is really confusing, Intel's Specsheet specifies 400Mhz only, but some 667 kits work ok, In the UK 667 is cheaper than 400, and Im on a budget, so its hard :p:
But i'm staying well on the safe side this time :up:
