Sean, what an awsome machine. *FIRST CABIN*. I'm going for a plain vanilla for my first build but I want to use superior MOBO/CPU and MEM. The building is going to be more fun than finished product. Believe I will have a better understanding what does what when finished. Next one will be patterned after yours I hope. FIRST CABIN!! Hope the waiting isn't too long. Think they were moving to a new location couple weeks ago. Have been keeping an eye on their site. Thanks for the Info, will print it out. Regards, /jw

Sean, I thought that case you selected looked familiar supermicro.com These people are the wholesalers (I guess importers) of that product line: addtronics.com I've been considering the next smaller model... the 6890A: addtronics.com Endusers can order directly from them. addtronics.com They don't take credit cards (have to pay with money order or UPS-COD) They told me I can deduct the price of the power supply. (I want to use the quiet PC Power & Cooling PS.) ------- Sean, which power supply and how many fans do you get for the $154 Supermicro case? That looks like a good price, are you getting it from supermicro?

Sean I ordered the following The Dream Team strikes again<g> I flip flopped on the ECC issue many times, but in the end cheaped out and went with non-ECC. How strong is your perception that ECC will make a difference waylaying crashes hangs and the like? Your upcoming Linux experience will be interesting to hear about.... Clarence

IHMO, a nice looking system from a top-notch vendor, Sean. Be curious to see the observable performance difference you get over the dual 300. What's the rationale? I gather you're thinking you'll get a slight bump in performance on the cheap while giving yourself another machine for testing? Regards, Dave
