I have a question that "somewhat" concern the airflow in the p180 cases, but ina different manner: How much does affect this case internal airflow the fact of having the front door opened or closed? I mean, I know that closed door will increase the restriction, of course, but is it restricted in a s...

Hi both. First I'll answer tibetan, and just after Joe. ;) First, the second message from tibetan, as it covers a lot of the first message. ;) If money is an issue (and for most of is, it is one way or another), I would also focus on making each box, server or HTPC, as good as it needs to be, but no...

oh, no, wait! I've told you about the HTPC project, but that's ANOTHER project. By no means it's related to the same machine. They are two machine: the htpc project I've told you in the pm, and the "calculation server or workstation" that is the scope of this topic. ;) Sorry if I've mixed something....

If we keep writing books instead of post I guess we will be kicked out here! :) First of all, let me apologize: I noticed since the first answer that you weren't a "fanboy" for any company. Sorry if I let it look like this somehow. :) About the memories: sad to hear that! Specially cause if it's tru...

That will be a good review. Anyway: I'm looking towards a KFN5-D SLI motherboard from asus. From what I can get, it would fit on usual ATX cases at least. :) So, the CNPS9700 and 9500 are good/bad in terms of noise? :) Amount of memory: That's the most probable evolution path of the server. I'm alre...

hi tibetan, and thanks for both answers! :) Antec 190, 180 and... 150, is that? are the ones I'm most considering, specially do to the sound damping. Their online support disapointed me, but, whatever. ;) Haven't got the combo of cnps9700 and passive cooling. And the lack of clips in the scythe ninj...

thanks a lot! Thats probably the kind of answer I would like to have. :) Just two more questions: how much of airflow would be needed in a case intake and outtake in order to get the cpus passivelly cooled? And, supposing that the same heatsinks would work for actual opterons (even the high consume ...

I've found some extra info in here: http://picasaweb.google.com/opteron.delivery Seems that there are a few issues for installing the thermalright si-128 (what doesn't mean issues for other of their coolers), and pretty instalation for zalman cnps9500 and coolermaster mars. I still have to get in to...

Yes I know, it seems that "official" support for the socket is a bit rare from the manufacturers. But I also seem two cnps9000 series (don't know if 9500 or 9700, thow) over these boards. So, maybe there is some more compability than we expect. But, if it's not the case, that mean that there is *no*...

quiet dual opteron: how to?
Hi guys. Well, I'm in need of some advise for a new machine of my own: my crazzy server. At the moment, I still running my 939 A64 X2 4200+, that will receive an water cooler for the sake of my ears in the weeks to come. But I'm a bit more interested in the machine that will take over this one on it...
