It looks like @CAPSLOCKSTUCK already knows what's inside... Dude, might he be your "friend" we talked about in conversation? :rockout:
I certainly didn't expect THIS when logging on tonight - I don't know what to say! :wtf:

Just three things I can say for now: ":rockout::rockout::rockout:", ":respect::respect::respect:" and ":toast::toast::toast:" !
Man, this competition is getting more serious than I could have imagined. :fear:Still at quite a loss for words, let me congratulate you on that purchase. I'm sure you followed how well it did for my scores - still, I cant, I don't, I refuse to believeeeee.... :D
So then, man - BRING IT ON! :pimp:

I'm looking forward to having some "nicely competitive" chat about this... Congratulations once again - We will meet again - please be gentle! :respect:

Hmmm... quite. It looks like your model is using 6 counter-rotating 40mm UltraFlo's per side instead of my 2x 80mm ones. Looking awesome! Probably a little less noisy as well. ;) It also appears you are using a different backplane, since your fan connectors are plugged into the nodes themselves. What kind of system did you get anyway? RAM modules are different, and the PSUs as well. It can't be any improved model right? Please tell me it is far inferior!!! :D More pics, please! :cool:

Enjoy sitting on those boxes in the meantime (you've got 2 days left being ahead of me) :p

It is with great sadness that i write to report the sudden and untimely death of ThugXeon..

During a short period of time ( two months) ThugXeon achieved many successes, crunching http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ , merrily without a hiccup or murmur, spreading joy and happiness around my house everytime my Wife saw and heard his spinning fans and the joyful oooh's and aaaaah's expressed by visitors wanting to know more.

Thugs death has cast a shadow over my normally happy corner of the kitchen.

However.

It seems i bought from an excellent supplier who despite selling me the mobo cheap has already sent me a replacement under RMA, a 6 months return to base warranty on 2nd user grossly discounted components, excellent.
I fear that the cpu may have copped it along with the board XEON E5620 and Supermicro X8STi

So as a precautionary measure i just bagged a XEON X 5650 at in incredible price 6 cores at a boost speed of 3.0 ghz

BIG HUGS to @dorsetknob for finding the 6 core

Ho Hum every cloud has a silver lining
