cardboard works for a case. Any kind of hole spacing you so desire

[pawmadsen]

Coolermaster Stacker 810 (good luck finding one tho)

i dont think it fits any case mate. the backend will not fit anything since its not a standard layout.

but personally i think i will make something out of wood, its easy to work with and more stable than cardbord. and its not conductive.

btw i have recieved my eps 12v converters so now i am just waiting for a pcie ati graphics card then i will power my board up i will take lots of pics, and you are welcome to ask questions if you have any.

@pawmadsen: where's the pics now?!

[pawmadsen]

ok here is some new shots of my CLEANED office / workplace
i have spend the entire day cleaning out garbage from this room, i think i had 25 empty cardboard boxes from items to these new machines.

specs:
laptop is core i7 620m
MM is core i7 920 @ 4.2
on the MM is another i7 920 @ 4.0
on that there is the dual socket f @ 1.9 with linux working
on the black table is the almost ready to run quad socket, just waiting on a gaphics card. ETA 2 days.

not in the picture is my htpc, its a core i5 661 @ stock, but crunching and its REALY REALY silent. its on a intel ITX board.

I was more looking at that giant pile of ram

[shoota]

i can't remember reading this, does this board boot without a video card?

it booted but i don't know what was going on cuz i couldn't see it...

Do you have an estimate for shipping to the UK yet?

I'd be happy for the boards to be sent to OldChap, for example, and have him forward them on to me.

i'm still working on this, we might have to send them all at once to someone like old chap and then disperse them from there.

[retro77]

Thanks for the pics! Nice work.

That would make a lot more sense to me.

Let me know when you've got a shipping estimate.

If you know what IP address it is going to get you can ping it once it gets booted. Or get VNC up and working for remote monitoring fun.

this pic is awesome

That remote stuff seems so intimidating but I'm going to need it soon. I'm building a makeshift server rack and I don't want to mess with a monitor. And if I could not use a video card on them as well then even better!

I had seen the ram the first time. But what about all those CPU's

[Duh]

yeah i have a socket 939 dual core dfi system running without any video card. ubuntu (dotsch/ux) boots and runs fine! have vnc set up but I don't really use it, I usually just use Putty to get a ssh command line to do stuff, or run Boinc Manager on my main machine and connect to the boinc client with that.

[pawmadsen]

what... only 16 quad core's and 6 dual cores. 64gb ddr2 ram and 12gb ddr ram. its all old but still functional fine

i am now just waiting on my 4 quad socket boards

[Jacka]

Almost a day and a half without posts!

[retro77]

We need more people to turn in money to shoota so we can get an order going!

[Sparky]

I agree. 4 more people at least!

[shoota]

Everybody pm anyone you might think would be interested

[retro77]

Maybe I'll send more money to shoota, double up on my board buy....
