Ugh. I haven't got the time or inclination to provide support for systems I build for the tech-illiterate.

Of course something's wrong, it's a Dell. Overpriced proprietary garbage.
That looks like a s775 chip, why not pick up a cheap s775 board and swap over everything else?

Thats what is going on here. Plus moving to DDR3 in stead of 2. I had some laying around might as well use it

I'm a bit of a suka when it comes to things like this, I can't help but help people. I've even done screen replacements and such for free. Really need to start charging people

(only charged for doing two of the pcs I've built and that was £50 including 3 year support

)

My thoughts exactly. And while that shot of all those drives is impressive, I can almost guarantee that the first time you have to pop the actual server unit open for a cleaning or RAM upgrade, etc., you'll notice that the motherboard is a Dell proprietary motherboard.

ALL server OEMs use proprietary motherboards. That's actually part of what you get with the price premium...

If I wanted a standard form factor I'd go assemble my own.

Why is "proprietary" a bad word? Processors use "proprietary" sockets. If you get an Asus Maximus Extreme-z motherboard I have to buy a processor from Intel that is part of a specific lineup if I want to use it.

And I guarantee that the first time I had to pop open the server for maintenance/upgrades, I noticed that the proprietary Dell motherboard was setup to be entirely tool-less. (Even the CPU Heatsink latches are toolless).

Maybe you can tell me how you'd work hot-swappable power supplies with a non-proprietary motherboard?

Blades are nice if everything uses the same few fabrics. But I need 8Gb FC, 16Gb FC, 2 generations of SAS, 1 GbE, & 10 GbE. For that, 2U works pretty darn well! :-)

I would suggest to other OEMs that we create a standardised format....
