Sometimes I get to play with the neatest toys at work

[Wurm]

I just finished putting together a "server" here at the company for AutoCAD Vault to run on.

AMD 3800+ X2

Abit KN8 Sli

4 gigs of corsair ram

ATI Radeon XT300

2 x Seagate ST3400833NS 400gig HDD in RAID 1

Sounds pretty much like a run of the mill computer doesn't it?


W R O N G !!! <--- click me


So far its keeping the 3800+ at 29°c idle :0 Thats better than my watercooling system at home!

Only bad thing about it is the price, 900€ thats quite a bit over $1000 dollars and thats for the case alone.

(I WANT ONE!!!)

Who's case? I have dual AMDs and they sit at 41°c at Idle and 50-55 at high load.

 

[Apathy78]

What OS are you running on it?

The W R O N G is a link bro lol

and its running Win 2003 R2

Ahhh, I'd have to do the touchy feely on one before I'd consider buying it. Well, actually I wouldn't buy one myself but before I'd recommend it .

Are you using Corsair XMS memory? i myself have 2gb of it. The recent price drops on AMD chips is great, now if the duelies will drop a little more, i'd certainly grab one! X2 4000 would be sweet!

I have a 4400+ X2 and I love it. And I use OCZ RAM at home. Only 2 gigs since my stupid motherboard only supports >2 gigs if they are single sided RAM.

AVB I spent less money on my first car, so yeah a touchy feely wouldn't be bad. However we needed a fanless computer for a very dusty enviro and this fit the bill perfectly.

I'll run Prime95 on it over night and let you know how hot it gets.


*edit* Hooray for double posts lol

In fact I had this guy on my athlon xp 3200 when I overclocked it to 3.9ghz 3 years ago, kept her nice a cool

Not to thread jack, but the other day, I hooked my internal phase converter up to my flux capacitor, and now the sky is green and my filing cabinet is dating my ex-girlfriend.

lol oh I know they have been around for a while, but this is the first time a company has made an entire do it yourself case solution out of them.

So the "company" you work for will spend 6 large ones one a bad azz 'puter, and not protect the enviornment it is in with a cheap $100 hepa filter? Fuggin tarded if you ask me. You'll still get dust inside even if you aren't running fans. LOL Pretty cool setup. I bet it rips through Doom III. LMAO

Not to thread jack, but the other day, I hooked my internal phase converter up to my flux capacitor

I have flux capacitor problems all the time....and my Delorean is just falling apart these days.

It was only 4 large ones (the software cost more than the hardware) No fans, less dust = not needing to spend big bucks on a HEPA enclosure in a office that has no room to begin with.

And as far as Doom3 goes, not with that crappy ATI card it doesn't lol

And the security is in the blinky thing? That's technical jargon isn't it? :laugh:
