What’s up guys, haven’t been as active much but decided to post a rig I’m putting together. Have been out of the PC scene for awhile after selling the last rig I had due to medical reasons but now trying to get back into the game but didn’t have a large budget to begin with so with the help of some members I’m putting together a older LGA 771 rig to get me going. Something to atleast get me started

Parts:

CPU: Intel Xeon E5410 X2 (8C/8T)
Cooler: Stock 771 HSF
RAM: Corsair 16GB(4x4GB) DDR2 ECC
Mobo: SuperMicro X7DV-LE
GPU: Undecided but trying to stay low cost
HDD: Samsung Spinpoint 1TB (Left over from last Rig)
PSU: Antec Quattro 850W
OS: Will be Windows 10
Case: SilverStone GD09


Will get some pictures posted

Good luck with the retro build, I suppose OC options in that server board are out of the question?

OC is possible but the limiting factor is cooling.

These are the heatsinks

A couple of pictures

Decided to use a Antec 430W PSU in this build and save the 850W for something else
