Excellent design i must say. Those PSU connectors is on the right place, no interfering with the hs/fan at all.

However, what is the blue thing that looks like a ide connector, but its bigger than that?

This looks like a mighty powerful board, WITH possibilitys of great mutlimedia as well. Any idea of releasedate?

That blue thing has got to be an IDE connector with the lighting screwing the perspective.

I have GOT to get myself one of these things... I think I may have just found a core for a birthday present... unless I get a valve job on the car or something...

Is that RAID then, or why are there 3 IDE connectors and no floppy connector?

Maybe it's two floppy connectors and 1 IDE... You know, RAID 0 for floppies - next big thing...

Duh....

If you've never heard of raid0 for floppies, you are SO out of the loop.

No, thats two standard IDE connectors. The blue IDE connector is a single channel IDE controller like one version of the HPT controller. It also has one floppy connector.

Follow the link and read, you will find that it is indeed an IDE channel off of the Promise SATA chip.
Serial ATA
Supporting Software RAID 0, 1, 10(opt)
Promise S-ATA controller 2 S-ATA, 1 P-ATA
I think that the MSI Canterwood board has this same Promise chip on it too. It does 2 channels of SATA and 1 channel of P-ATA.

That and everything else that has to be bought new to go with it.

CPUs, HSFs, PSU, PCI cards (not on this board but the PCI-X) and at least 2 sticks of RAM.

Welcome to Intel Xeon price territory.

Mind you the Server Hardware costs are a small fraction of what Server Software can run.

Thats is to those (people) who actually pay for software (like most S&M forum members.... )

Server software is in the thousands. That along with client NOSs.

No. I'm well aware of that. We have dual Windows server 2003 licenses here at school on the networks I administrate. Plus 20 additial CALs for each of the two networks.

I buy my software lisences, but try to use as much public code as I can

Only bad thing I can see on this board is the layout and AGP slot, both make rackmounting the server a little tougher. Oohhh wait, thats the part you guys _liked_

I've just bought an MSI board (no AGP) dual Opteron. Very easy to install, hoping for PCI-X gfx cards to come out sometime... I bet it will happen
