Building a Sossaman rig?

[Petra]

Blarrgh!

Hey guys, I'll have both Sammys back up and running somewhat shortly (hopefully) but I have a quick question that I don't think has been touched upon in this thread... Will either of the onboard SATA controllers play nice with 2TB and/or 3TB drives? I've had some issues with older hardware and newer high capacity drives and I'd like to know if anyone has given it a try before moving ahead with a project I have planned.

mmm.. lemme check with a friend.. I'm quite certain he has a WD 2TB Green plugged into the onboard SI3124 (Intel mobo)

[NKrader]

They aren't that old

Anybody know where you can get the 1.67ghz 15w chips at right now? I'd like to buy probably 5 of them.

[tiro_uspsss]

I need a 2ghz CPU! NOW!

anyone has a spare?

[D_A]

I found this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Intel-Xeo...item43a871bee2

Rather pricey though at a hundred US each!

[tiro_uspsss]

yeah

not to worry, I have had someone contact me, they are helping me out

[D_A]

There's this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/INTEL-XEO...item1e632f47bc but it's the 1.66GHz type ... and expensive

and this one is just stupid expensive: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Intel-Xeo...item5d2ab0e82a

It looks like the supply of cheap CPUs has dried up for now.

A couple of 2.16GHz items would be sweeeeet ... but I'm not holding my breath.

edit: someone's hooking you up? Good stuff!

[tiro_uspsss]

yeah, I wonder how those sellers would react if you gave them the link to that ended listing where they were being sold for $10 each

I googled before - found a site that was trying to sell for ~USD$1200 each...

[D_A]

Oh good luck! There's no point spending $1200 on these, you'd just move on to something newer.

Hey Tiro, clean out your PM inbox, it's chokkers.

[tiro_uspsss]

done. whats the PM limit? :/ I thought I was well short of it :/

[Sparky]

Check the bottom of your PM inbox, there will be a bar with the numbers and all that stuff.

has anyone dropped the guy on ebay that used to sell the chips for $10 a pm to see why they've been de-listed??

[D_A]

Finding someone who wants to sell a bunch of the SL9HM units (2.16GHz) for that price would be oh so sweet ... but I'm not holding my breath.

[tiro_uspsss]

yep!

I got a reply: he's still got them (not sure how many) - he told me to simply tell me how many I want & he'll send an invoice!

[Origin_Unknown]

oh sweet! thats pretty awesome to be fair!

[tiro_uspsss]

oh sweet! thats pretty awesome to be fair!

tell him I sent you!
(no I don't get commission!)

[D_A]

Dang! ... Doesn't have any of the 2.16 chips does he?

[tiro_uspsss]

nope

I so want 2 of those 2.16s..

[D_A]

Actually, I want six ... but I'm not holding my breath.

[tiro_uspsss]

gentlemen:

I messaged the fellow (belmonttech) on Ebay who used to list the SL8WT 2Ghz CPUs for $10 a pop - he is willing to re-list!

[D_A]

Of course he won't have any SL9HM chips ... would he?
