I will keep at least one of the sets. If you manage to get another set, I will sell my second with a (large :D) profit set to raise some funds for the mobo and the heatsinks. Otherwise I'll have them sitting on the shelf till I get more money.Quote:

I again found out the hard way. Some "special" dynatron HS I bought won't work, so $50 later I have two small chunks of copper that won't work.
I think i'll take the one set from you :)Quote:

Right now my Ram usage with this Dually is 180MB, 1 x FAAH | 1 x HPF
Ram is cheap. I'd stick to 2gb for these guys. That's all Sammy.2 has, and i'm sure it will run 4x WCG fine.Quote:

Intel Specsheet
If someone could break down the entire American cost, I will very much consider buying a Sossaman rig, either in the next few weeks or perhaps one that Dave builds. Is that alright with you, Dave?
Dave has one thats already built. From the other thread.
MBoard: $19
RAM: Depending on where you get it, from $50 - 75 *Inc Shipping*
CPU's: $60 from the site dave listed. About OOS, not sure on shipping costs. Anyone?
HDD: Ebay? $5/10 - Someone might have a nice site to order from
CDROM: $10
CASE: Remember a few from US sites about $60, Or you can do what I did, pick up a $10/20 case and hack it. Or go caseless.
Probably already have KB/M and CDROM, maybe HDD.
should be able to do it easily inside $200, maybe $160-175
Damn! I want one! I have the cash right here. I can't spend it though--it's for books.
As for cases...
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811128033 for $53 with FREE SHIPPING!!!!!!!!!! and two 120mm fans.
Darn--I wish I had the money! I can steal an old Maxtor 8.4GB IDE drive and an old beige CD-ROM drive. Or, use my SATA burner for install and keep it 24/7 headless. And two words: KVM switch. (I have a 2-port Belkin one which is VGA + 2xUSB 1.1 + speakers & microphone)
You're spending $200 on books?! :shocked:
Used books. Hopefully less. $250 absolute tops.
People where u need these case thingys?
I've 2 comps running here w/o cases :D
For $54 flat, those ARK eATX cases look nice for people with neat roommates. Also will be very useful for any dual-CPU build. I'd say to Dave and other dual-processor fanatics; stock up! They're cheap!
Yes there cheap, cheapest you can get in the UK is £62 plus shipping, $125 + $24 :( Main reason why I went ATX and hacked the hell outta it
Ouch. Typical server chassis ship for $20-30 USD, and it's already the cheapest listed server chassis. For guys like Dave or DD_TUNG, a dozen would be win.
Oh btw got answer for that how much the 1667MHz xeons cost: 187Eur/slice :F
Lets hope than jcool gets better deal on them :P
sorry i cant get sossomans. :rofl:
The thread about youngpro has thw 1.67GHz chips for $60 / £30 / €40 ?
What? where? when?Quote:
