So, if he does, $70 for CPUs, $31.50 for the board (after shipping) $36-ish for ram, and $30-ish for heatsinks. total $167.50.Quote:

Sorry to hear that..Most stable system you will ever see.Quote:

I just bought a Corsair 400w PSU for it..:D
If I still had my internship/job I'd be all over it. Lost that in December thanks to the credit crunch and a lack of retirees from the company, so out the door the interns went.Quote:

Total bull, it takes like twice that amount of time to do it properly :mad: last time I'm every buying anything from those guys :down:Quote:

BTW If someone knows where to get sammys tell me :P
If i could get 1-2 pairs we could try the legendary turbopll mod with one of these :hrhr:
:hehe:
Found 2.167GHz sammys, pricy tho :ROTF:

say 20% faster..:wasntme:
I'm waiting...Quote:

theoretically yes ... but in reality ?
Maybe ask Tiro , he'll be interested ;)
According to the white papers on this it was tested and passed at 800Quote:

You sort of have to read thru and learn about "Sammy"Quote:

Costs app $170.00 for board,2 cpu's,2 gig of memory and the special heatsinks..
Draws app 110w at 110% load and gives off essentially no heat..
Cpu's run at 34C at 100% load on air..
Oh, and the Board we use orginally was a $430.00 Intel EATX server board that we now buy for $30.00 delivered in the USA..
Stable as anything you ever saw..:up:
I'm willing to try, on one condition: someone hook me up with some cheap sammys - MM what happened to that USA fellow on ebay who was trying to flog numerous sammys of for approx USD$40 iirc?
If I can get a couple 2Ghz sammies for under AUD$75 each, I'll be the guinea pig (if no one else is game)
I also need to get another board :rolleyes:
Hey tiro, I haven't found your thread again, did that PCI slot you put on that board actually function?
na :(Quote:

list of 'to-do' torture:
1) move PCI slot - yes, i'm gonna solder it onto a diff location - if this works, I'll skip no.2
2) remove PCI slot entirely, to see if the mobo has survived
Boards aren't an issue..I have 3 here now..Quote:

Thats $67.95 for TWO not each!:rofl:
Now get out your solder gun and tell me if this mod works will you or do I have to show you up and be the first one?
OK, time for bed for me.
... but it's only 3 in the afternoon!Quote:

I am tempted to build one of these rigs. If nothing else to have a dual cpu setup. I just need to find the parts up.
Everything but the cpu's is easy.Quote:
