I've had these Xeon processors sitting around for a while now and I thought it's about time to get a motherboard for them. Two are clocked at 3.0Ghz/1MB/800, other two are at 2.8Ghz/512/533. I ordered a Super Micro X6DVL-EG2  from eBay for $120 of which I seen this motherboard up to $250. Anyway, came the other day and finally put it together. Heatsinks didn't screw into the case as it should, so I had to screw the nut right onto the heatsink. 

The BIOS has a plethora of options to mess around with, most of which I don't even know. XP x64 running on here and it's running quite good. My first 64-bit system :)

Other than that, I haven't done any coding. Although I did make a change or two to Sysode the other day. 

This is probably going to be a boring and pointless post. I got a rack for all my computers (except my main quad-monitor one). So, I got my server plus 2 other computers & 3 monitors...add the router and switch on the rack (I also have another computer but with no case). Surprisingly, my server is running quite cool @ 26C (CPU) and 27C (Mobo). I installed Fedora 9 'The Spin' version last night on an old Dell. Quite slow (only 128MB RAM in the system) so now I'm installing Easys, a Slackware based distro (Running KDE (which isn't old-computer friendly)). Furthermore, I installed Xubuntu 8.04 (8.10 on the 30th!) on an old Thinkpad (which I love). I got it running pretty good, considering I was using Fluxbuntu 7.10 before. I also got another computer up and running, because of the stupid PSU. I guess not enough power was going to the core, so thats wasn't getting anything when booting up. I'm not too sure what I want to install on that. I was sorta leaning toward a mail server or even a FTP server of somesort. I'm not too sure what I want to do....but my router(s) only accept one DMZ'd connection...which sucks. I'm off to go eat or something.......
