I’m building a trial machine for a new branch to our renderfarm. What do you reckon:-
Shuttle SN25P box - S939 nForce 4 Ultra MCP PCI-E
Athlon 64 X2 4400+ S939 1MB
DabsValue GeForce 6200 128/16MB TC PCI-E graphics card (cheapest I could find!)
Corsair 2x1GB 2x184DIMM PC3200 CL3
Seagate Barracuda 200GB ATA drive (far too big I know, but it was lying around in the office!)
External DVD player/writer for installing
WinXP 64bit OEM
gig network card?
what’s that setup costing you? if ya don’t mind me being nosey 
around about 750 quid. You could probably do it cheaper if you hunted around.
you mite need a floppy drive for installing sata drivers,i did…
That would be both annoying and a bit archaic. Goods ‘should’ arrive today, so I’ll let you know.
We recently added a batch of 2 Units 19" Servers to our farm. I did unattended installs for all of them. Worked pretty nicely and no floppy needed (SATA too).
