    Yeah, yuk it up, but I've seen too many cases where wording like that just means they forgot to mark it as a multiple sale rather than a job lot. My eldest son got caught by one exactly like that.

    Not laughing at the misunderstanding... just the price is hilarious (if it is indeed for 7 chips.) I bought mine for 40 each and I thought THAT was a steal!

    Actually, you can mix and match running with a 2.0ghz sossaman.

    For those who are going to put a new sossaman rig, Here are some products you need.

    Yeah, Movieman is like the Hugh Hefner of computers. Visit the mansion and leave with a few, but you'll never have the hottest ones or nearly as many

    Which reminds me, what happened to Wes, wasn't he the first one to have a Sossaman? Reading the original threads two years ago that he and Dave posted back in May-2008 I think is what inspired me to build my first Sossaman in the first place.
    It's kinda hard to remember my life before Sammy1... 1P desktops are so boring in comparison,
    Wes got married, bought a house and I think works a lot on the road.
    He got all his high end Cisco qualifications and I hope he is making money hand over fist..
    Real nice kid..

    Talking Sammy's EATX board in an ATX case? YES YOU CAN!

    I wanted to put one of my GTX260s in the rig with my Sossaman but the cardboard box wasn't going to cut it... Got to looking at some old Antec case I had sitting here and the light went off

    After a little dremel work....




    OK, so I can't use the bottom most 5.25" bay, and the 3.5" bays are gone. So what

    Case had an 80mm intake fan. Wasn't sure if that would be feeding enough for the GTX260, so.... chop chop!



    Result? IT FITS!



    Forgot to grab a pic with the GTX260 in it but yes, it fits fine and works fine. I have the hard drive mounted in the middle 5.25" bay with a pair of adapter rails. The DVD ROM is in the topmost bay.

    Crude? Yes. Rough? Yes. Does it work? YES. And with the side panels on, you can't tell the difference
