Hi all -
I'd like to build a 2-processor opteron server and am getting hung-up on
choosing parts. I'd like to avoid the barebones servers that Tyan and
others put together to save on cost. Here are my requirements:
(1) Hot-swap SATA
(2) Opteron 852s, and dual-core support
(3) DDR400
(4) USB2
(5) PCIe
(6) Mobo fits in a 1U chassis (see below)
(7) Chassis bays: 5.25, 2 hot-swap SATA.
Thus far, I think I've isolated the mobo to a K8SE; although, the H8DCE
looks pretty nice. I don't think the H8DCE will fit into a 1U chassis. Can
anyone recommend a 1U chassis for the K8SE, and also say something about CPU
cooling? I'd also be interested in hearing other mobo/chassis combos that
have worked out.
Regards, Ted.
