2 Watercooling kits

Lol Zardon seriously, i think the bar has been raised to a point now where no one can compete. that is insane. 40 gig of memory and something like 20 TBs of storage between them. and 3 overclocked ultras. 16 cores of processing power (56ghz combined).

Absolutely insane.

haha they would put out a heap of heat, considering just how much processing power there is between them.

my system isn't quite that powerful, but it's not too shabby:

Mac Pro 3,1
2 x E5462 Quadcore Xeon @ 2.8Ghz
4 x 1Gb 800Mhz Micron FB-DIMM
1 x nVidia Geforce 8800GT 512Mb VRAM
2 x 320Gb 7200rpm HDD
1 x 250Gb 7200rpm HDD
1 x 160Gb 7200rpm HDD
1 x Pioneer 112D DVD-DL Burner

Naturally I'm also running Windows on it, in addition to OS X

well its not very exciting, just 8 modules - basically the same as this one from the review but the 1gb modules are now 4gb modules.

Well as I said I can't, the motherboard that is in Skulltrail right now is an unreleased product im helping Intel to test. There are pictures of the skulltrail system in the review on DH if you want a look around the released board however.

They are in my study yes. You don't want to see my electric bill, I don't even want to see it, last one was quite severe.

damn lol.

Well thanks for hosting such a cool website!

On a side note you should invest in Solar power to try and cut down that bill

A lot of start up cost, but with these systems I bet you would see pay back very quick!

I dont host DH on either of those machines, not sure if you mean that

We have a rack in texas which powers the network. One of those systems handles all my graphics work for the site as well as a bunch of other things. I am sure djstick will find out just how capable those dual xeons are, especially as he is into music in a big way.

Anyway ive hijacked the thread long enough, ill let you all get on with it.

Cheers !

So Z are those FB-DIMMS? (Or is it still not something you can tell us, are you still under NDA?)
And what about the heat they put out? :/
