Well 2 or 3 years after I got this Ultra 20 I really need a new box to use as my main so I've finally given in to my dual socket desire and started a new build. I kind of want to be able to play games on it which is why I want a pretty good graphics card but that's not my main focus. Later on I will upgrade the CPU to something faster (probably the 2.4) but depends on if/when bulldozer comes out and the pricing on that.
It's comprised of:
ASUS KGPE-D16 Dual G34 motherboard (Asus's website is awful)
1x Thermaltake CLS0017 G34 cooler (I'll probably come up with a bigger/quieter one eventually)
1x AMD Opteron 6128 8x2.0GHz G34 processor
8x SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM (one of them is currently in sunbox but will be transplanted once I get my raid controller)
and for what I have in line to be purchased still:
2x Kingston 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM ECC Registered
XFX HD-577X-ZMF3 single slot HD5770 card. I'm really stoked I found an awesome single slot card.
SeaSonic X750 Gold 750 Watt power supply (has the necessary 2x12V EPS connectors.
CHENBRO SR10769-BK-T server tower case (one of the awesome long ones with tons of space)
CHENBRO 84H210710-073 Hotswap HDD Cage (each holds 4 drives)
CHENBRO SK33502-BK-H 5x3.5" hot swap cage.
areca ARC-1880ix-16 SAS/SATA raid controller (this one is a beast)
areca ARC-6120 backup battery (if it works with the 1880 and if not the new one)
