I'm going to need more outlets soon as my surge protector is filled to the max. Don't worry though, the power consumption for my system, sossaman, router, modem, printer and monitor is only 280W when I am crunching on both systems :).

Pics are added for justice. Sossaman needs more wire management...

I think I might add another sossaman to the other side as well and maybe I might used some pico PSUs to save one some space...time will tell.

Is that an Ikea Pax??? :rofl:

I kid you not, that's what I have my 2 Sossamans in also. It's absolutely perfect size for the board.

The GeForce 9800 GTX has been pulled from Sammy2 and is now reserved for my upcoming Woodcrest on San Clemente build. :D
Sammy2 and the parts I had left over for Sammy3 are now crossing the globe to find new homes, because I'm a generous legend

Truer than you think.
I met gongo a while back.
My impressions that night were of a very smart, well spoken guy with a good heart. I won't go into details but I always ask myself one question when you think about an individual: Would I feel comfortable leaving my kids in that persons care?
Not a doubt at all when I think of him.:up:

Just so people know - I have one of my Sossaman systems for sale (Fold3 in my sig). Dual 2GHz Sossamans, heatsinks, 2x512MB ECC DDR2-400 memory, Intel SE7520BB2 motherboard - $165 + shipping.

I'm not bent on selling this, so I'm not looking to play with pricing too much. If no interest then it'll continue keeping my other Sossaman rig company :D

Dang Dave how'd you pull that off? Those CPUs usually run much higher than that, like $40 a piece :eek:

Leave it up to you to find the deals :D

Just want to say that the seller in Movieman's ebay link has the sossamans going for $25.50 instead of $29.50.

Like an Army supply depot..Ya gotta have supplies..
\Besides, for a cheap all round machine these make a hell of a system.
Low elec, decent computational power..
Beats the crap out of the entry level Dell's,etc,,
And find a LL PC62B and it's one nice looking rig..:D

Huh, It said 130 + shipping for all seven chips in the tittle. 138 / 7 = ~ 20 per chip.

The wording is pretty ambiguous, I'd say. If you contact the seller and they say it's for all seven then that's a hell of a deal ... but that's also the price I've seen a bunch going for each.
