Leythos is, google for his posts, or ping him (subject line: [Ping]
Person [question], he'll probably notice it quicker.

I have two of them now, and I love them.

I bought the 2.4g 533 with 2gb of ram and dual 250GB SATA and have them
mirrored on the SATA RAID controller.

This machine is faster than any of the small servers (and I have a lot
of Dell servers) we have in the office.

My only suggestion is that you MAKE SURE THE CPU'S ARE MATCHED - they
must be the same set of numbers or it won't work properly. One other
thing, get at least 5 FANS (including CPU) for the case and at least a
500W Dual Xeon rated PSU (about $120 if you get a good one). The people
I bought the board (systems) from said to disable the fan speed mode on
the CPU's and run them full speed all the time (they said Intel tells
them to do this).

Also, if you run Windows, run Windows 2003 or XP Professional in order
to get the best support for Hyper-Threading (2000 does not fully support
HT).

I use these boxes as FTP (30 sites) and small ASP / ASP.Net servers and
even run dual Counter-Strike dedicated servers on one of them. I never
see the CPU load above 20% at peak.

I like them so much I'm considering getting one as a workstation.

Feel free to contact me (address below) any time concerning the
stations.

Great board. I am running it with dual 3.06 xeons and I absolutely
love the machine.

I have three of those systems from 5oclock.com and use them with 4x512MB
and dual 250gb SATA on the RAID controller in a mirror - I'm running the
2.4g Xeon/533's and love the system.
