"Behind AnandTech - APPRO's 1124 760MP Server"

This kid probably will never grow up. The whole
"review" is so blatantly amateurish.

Look, for example, at this nonsense:
"Cooling is a major issue for this platform and in a 1U chassis that is less than 2" high, the issue is even more serious. There isn't enough headroom for a regular sized heatsink, much less one with a fan mounted on it. Because of this, the 1124 also implements a custom made cooling solution to not only circulate air through the extremely small case, but to also cool the dual Athlon MP processors."


This guy apparently never saw a 4U Xeon 4-way server,
where 1/2 of the case was dedicated to three air ducts
made of high-density styrofoam, each channel stuffed
with three (!) high-speed fan in sequence, like in
airplane turbines!!! Now talk about "major heat issues"!!
Pathetic.
