wow ten bucks? where can we find the cpus for this board? sorry, noob here..
Pity that shipping cost to Europe is so high :/ and what about CPUs availability? There is literally nothing on ebay.
I think I grabbed the last chips off of ebay for now..
10 for artem and 4 extras for me..:hrhr:
are these the right ones just lower clocks?: http://cgi.ebay.com/SL98Q-XEON-LV-1-...item53e0114416
yes, but I'd get the 2000's if possible and if you see a 2167 being sold PM me, call me, wake me up, toss a grenade at the front door but just let me know!:rofl:Quote:

Yup, and thats the deal to buy, got a bunch from him, shipped fast and properly packed. That is a scheap as you'll find them.Quote:

As I mentioned earlier, I have one in a Lian Li PC62B and it's a very nice little rig.
does the bsel mod mentioned way earlier in this thread work?
Not that I'm aware of. I never tried because someone else said it didn't.
gotcha, sorry to ask all these ?'s but i gotta learn it all :) what all is needed, mobo, cpus, ram, power supply, case?, back plate (what is that for?), hard drive, etc, what am i overlooking?
heat sinks..google 'OEMXS" :DQuote:

back plates available from Performance PC's in Florida, $2.95 and shipping. Lian Li plate I think is the description
Backplate is to mount the heatsinks to.Quote:

ah that makes sense, so for a crunching-only rig what should i expect to spend on one sos rig?
150 dollars after tax and shipping.Quote:

Hmm... $180 per node is just so cheap for 4 cores, I really can't resist. I still don't see how an i7 is more cost effective for large crunch, I think I'm going to go through with my plans to put 16 sammy rigs together at some point.
(looks at the purdy 2167 sammy) or 13..:DQuote:

at 100% load: 69C without fans, 34C with a cheap 80mm fan screwed into the fins on the heatsink.Quote:
