@nemail Oh what a nice system! The sound card is a nice find! They are typically very rare! I'd say the sound card alone is worth more than what you paid for everything. There are MANY, MANY quirks of this system. If you ever need some 1 on 1 advice, hit me up. I have 3 of these machines and I like …

I'm hoping for star trek. People live each of their lives to their fullest and as they see fit. More likely, we will start kill each other. 😜

The thing that worries me most about him is his trade policy; I'm a big free trade guy and I think if he wants to bring businesses back to America he should get them to come back of their own volition with lower taxes and decreased regulation rather than simply forcing them back with 35% tariffs …

As an American, I feel the need to explain to the rest of the world. This is my point of view, but I feel it is a very common one. Trump won as symptom of systemic corruption. The majority of people only real reason to vote for him was to tear the system down. That was my reason. I watched one party …

meh. Mine would come with the cpu support plate, and the 900mhz xeons. So I would ask for considerably more. But that's not likely to happen.

I'm not overly concerned with electricity. In my area, the cost is relatively cheap. Also, I'm considering of getting solar installed. As for a newer setup, I can. I really have a penchant for dual cpu systems. So anything I do, if there is a possibility of dual-cpu, I will pursue it at any cost. If …

The last 2 weeks or so have been a whirlwind of cat5 cabling and Linux, but I've finally gotten my head above water and decided to share my experience with everyone. This post will ramble, and I will likely swear at least once (in good taste). At the very least it will be theraputic to get it out of …

I actually got it working last night. It was suggested on another forum to use the onboard scsi. It worked. Dont know why i cant use the onboard ide, or add-on sata, or add-on ide, but ill take what i can get. I will probably make a new thread with pictures, it is a beautiful board.

For a very long time, the best cd drives were made by Plextor. In their day, they were fast, quiet and reliable. That said, they just gave up when dvd and cd-r came around. Lite-On took the throne as the fastest drives. Quite a few Plextor drives simply don't read cd-r disks. Thankfully I found a …

@candle_86 use these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835114056 The processors are a bit close together for large single heatsinks, the ones I linked are VERY effective. The boards PWM will keep them quiet, but if the temp goes up the can scream. I use them for my similar board …
