Ding ! I think we have a winner ! If I upgraded my SCSI and video card I could be right there, but I haven;t seen anything to beat this yet.Originally posted by: sharkeeper
Ok I'll bite.
SuperMicro X6DAE-G2
(2) Intel Xeon 3.6GHz
4GB PC3200 ECC DDR2
ATi x800xt on 16x PCI-E
Creamware Luna II PCI Audio on 32/33 PCI
Audigy 2NX on USB 2.0 for games
Intel SRCU42X U320 SCSI RAID on 133MHz PCI-X This HBA has 512MB ECC DDR Cache and Li Ion Backup Battery System onboard
(8) 73.1GB Fujitsu MAS 15k disks configured with multiple logical drives
Logitech MX1000 Mouse
MS Desktop Elite 2.0 Keyboard with wireless mouse on PS/2 port for RAID console access
Samsung 243T 24" TFT 1920x1200 display
Toshiba SDM-1612 with customised firmware for true 16x DVD ripping
NEC ND-3500-AG DVD-RW drive mounted externally connected via 1394
Mitsumi 7in1 floppy/card reader combo
Verious case modifications for quiet (sub 30dBA) operation at the desktop.
Lian Li PC70 case (highly modified)
SuperMicro 650W ATX-EPS triple redundant power supply (modified to reduce fan noise - about as loud as a woman screaming for a taxi in Manhattan!)
I also have other things I use such as notebooks and a pocket PC that are worthy of mention, but I'll leave those for another discussion.
I was going to get a dual Opteron platform BUT a client liked it better than me (always works that way) and I got a killer deal on the Xeons.
Cheers!
