Quad socket board communitarian bulk buy

[metalop1g]

I just go my paycheck, what can i buy at the moment that will help me with this build? psu maybe? Gimme a little ebay link come on

[pawmadsen]

cpu's ? ram ? hdd ? old video card ?

i am working on the psu, but i dont know the price yet. and they are located in hong know, i am trying to talk them into free shipping, lets hope

if you need cpus give palm54@charter.net a mail, and tell him you come from here, and i sent you. he should sell you opteron 8347 for 27.50$ each.

e-cyclepro3 has some lots of cheap graphics, i just won 31 random videocards for 32$.

[metalop1g]

Yea I guess I'll pull the trigger on ECC ram tonight. 4*1gb

I'll take a look at what e-cyclepro3 is when I come back from my gf's.

What a bunch of buggers, they only ship within the USA.. They had nice cheap 1u and 2u servers

[Duh]

This looks good, I had no idea how cheap this would be when I looked awhile ago, when exactly were you looking at buying them?
Board dimensions would be good to know, If it would fit in the stacker then that'd be sweet
Ed.

16 x 13 inches.. it´s a serverboard and it´s a beast.. I doubt it will fit

will add you to the list

It does sound cheap, I might be interested if not just for sheetz and gigs. Maybe I missed it...but what was the PPD on this with the 16x1.9ghz?

16x13. alot of details are in the first couple pages.

duh- when do you think we're gonna buy these boards?

Do not know. We have to reach the 50 units . I know we can do it

i have no idea. and i am not interested, i just got a perc 5i controller, and upgraded my 4 x 1,5 TB to 8 x 1,5 TB drives.. that should do it. for now

is there someone that knows if we can run this board with pc2-3200 ecc reg ram ? because those can be had for as little 10$ per gig. will it hurt PPD ? and is the barcy even able to run with slow ram ?

your perc controller made me drool.. ( not to mention all those hdds )

ain´t those 3200 way to slow for our setup? can´t tell if they would even run.. jcool must know

I might be interested in this.. Quick question though.

Do all server boards require registered ram?

added you just in case.. if not interest do not hesitate to request deletion please

I just go my paycheck, what can i buy at the moment that will help me with this build? psu maybe? Gimme a little ebay link come on

I would buy a kick ass psu. reasons? PSU ´s rarely need to be upgraded and can always be of some use ( power additional hdd´s , dvd, VGA, etc).

how about a compliant corsair HX?

cpu's ? ram ? hdd ? old video card ?

sh. if I needed something to make me jealous was all this truckload of lovely hardware you just got that made it :P. congratz .. let us know about those VGA´s when they arriev .

Any idea of a board to make 2 of our boards fit?

you have even been able to digg into the manufacturer of that PSU you are crazy like me :P

just a question: isn´t the psu 800 w?

# 800W Power Supply Unit

[metalop1g]

I need registered ddr2, anybody has some to sell before I pull the trigger on ebay?

[Duh]

wasn´t there a local canadian selling some ram or am I being mixed?

[metalop1g]

No you're not crazy, he did talk about 1gb sticks of 667mhz being 18.25 a pop, but just after somebody mentionned 2gb sticks being available for 20-22$.. That's why I'm wondering about the deal

[retro77]

You guys need any more help with this? What's the buy-in per person?

[metalop1g]

I'm pretty sure it's Duh that will be buying the boards. I can't tell though if he wants to take charge for all the stuff we bulk order.

Some other bro (sorry it's late, can't remember) took charge of the cpu's (somebody already ordered his) but I'm not sure we were going to group buy the cpu's.

the psu's, we're not set on that.

The memory, we're not quite set on that too even though somebody got us a rebate, but maybe there is a better deal out there.

the heatsink, not set on that too.

In retrospection, I bed he'd love help

[retro77]

Sorry, I didn't read all nine pages yet. What mobo is it and what CPU requirement is it?

[pawmadsen]

its a arima quad socket f board, its not standard atx or anything, so psu is "special" but can be wired to work with normal psu's, it takes 4 opteron 83** cpu's, there is an option for the 1.9ghz version called 8347 for 27.50$ each. ram need to be ecc reg ddr2 at around 667mhz. dont know if the 400 mhz will work, jcool ?
hope that helped you it.

[eddieate]

16 x 13 inches.. it´s a serverboard and it´s a beast.. I doubt it will fit

No you can get a W-ATX 13"x16" in the stacker, that's why I bought it, it's a beast too

[shoota]

In every Stacker or just the 810?

[eddieate]

Just the 810 I think, thats what swayed me to buy that particular one.

[DragoonXX]

just the 810...got myself one waiting for when I have the funds for a full one of those systems

[shoota]

where in the f did you find one?!?

[Duh]

somebody may be me . A doubt to wipe such statement would be to know what type of memos sammy´s have

yeah, we need to work on this subject. I am in the arse of the world. I guess we should create an account and that someone like MM has only access to it. Once everyone has sent the dough then the seller should be payed

please leave feedback on this matter

very good summary ( excellent IMHO) for such a long thread

--------------------------------
How about dividing tasks?

IE:
mobo stuff: me
psu options and pricings :
casing: eddieate
cpus: pawmadsen
memory :metalop1g
someone to help joining the dough : we could ask MM
someone to test the boards when they arrive:shoota
someone to investigate shipping rates to user´s countries ( parcels departing from the US to the world ):
someone to be the heatsink and backplate specialist:

this is just figurative ( it takes no commitment to the mentioned users, just depicts an idea to make things work in a more organized & efficient manner)


My idea is to help organize this buy ( in which I am only saving 25 bucks from what I was quoted ) BUT : NOT to TOUCH MONEY that does not belong me

[shoota]

i don't mind looking for power supplys but i need people's input. not everyone will want to mess around with wiring a standard psu. someone earlier mentioned they found the exact psu's for this board, maybe some guys would like those?

personally i don't want to buy anything until i have the board.

just edited the post and you posted before me :P

[shoota]

i think if we distributed the boards first everyone would jump on board much faster. what do you guys think about that?

[Duh]

I doubt the seller would be sending the mobos to the multiple places ( at least not with for a price we would like)

[retro77]

Count me in for one. Sounds pretty cool and cheap. Maybe we can do another buy later on...make this a semi-annual ritual or something.

Can someone post a model number for the board. It seems that the Arima TW site is down.

[DragoonXX]

where in the f did you find one?!?

about 3 months of looking on ebay/CL/kijiji/for sale threads in forums
mine cost me 25 bucks, and another 82 for shipping

[pawmadsen]

i know, i was kinda asking him jcool, can you test the opterons with 400 mhz ram ?

its not on their site, its an OEM board, a quad socket is just pr0n.

and 4 x quad socket is even more pr0n, thats the amount i am buying.
