I've always assumed that given the name "Stacker" for those CoolerMaster cases they could indeed be stacked but they look like that's not the case.
To me, it looks like they're called that because you can stack fifteen BAZILLION drives in a Stacker case.
The cable organization on the Xeon system looks cleaner than the round-cabled Dual XP, Geeky - How'd you accomplish that with standard IDE ribbon cables?
Very nice rigs, Geeky! I'm jealous, but not in mean way.
I'm waiting for a Nforce4 with an AMD 64 CPU and PCIe before I plunk down some more money on a computer. By the time they come out I'll probably be able to make up yet another excuse for the wife.....any married guys got some good ones to share?!!?

Unplug the Power On plug and tell the wife the motheboard/CPU died and you have to replace it!
damn It almost makes me want to drain my " gnomes own house or apartment Fund " and go out and buy a dualie but I think Illget by with my system for alittle longer

Get by? I need a job don't I? I suppose I could "get by" with a 2 ghz intel machine.
Geeky, man those rigs look SWEET! Do you use applications that can actually use up all that power or was that just for your pleasure or for folding?

Geeky' me old matey... all I can say is - :hitit2:
*grabs computers- one under each arm- and backs slowly away from Spinner*
Maxanon: they're both pretty quiet. They're audible, for sure, but they're quieter than my NF7-S/2600m system...
GH: The Xeon system's wiring job is cleaner for a couple of reasons:
-The rounded cables in the dual athlon system are out of its old case, which is far, far larger than the one its in now, and the cables are far longer
-The athlon has more drives in it, and a pci card for some of them, which the dual xeon system doesn't have
-I just took more time wiring the xeon system than I did the athlon system
-Some of the power connectors for stuff in the dual athlon system are in very bad places
^Ben: If the CPU is one of the new ones in a sealed package, then it's going to be basically impossible to do.
TheGr8One: No, I don't actually do anything that requires two CPUs (nevermind two hyperthreaded CPUs) except some light multitasking and some occasional photoshop work, both of which even the 2.4GHz, non-HT P4 in my old laptop handled quite happily. However, stuff runs noticeably more smoothly on a dual cpu machine. Besides, I like dual cpu machines. And yeah, I wanted the extra folding power too. Part of the reason I was so pissed when I found out my dorm didn't have AC is because I was looking forward to putting F@H on theese things and leaving it running 24/7.

Afterwards sell it to recoup some of the costs.
Devious....
Dishonest...
Underhanded...
I LIKE IT!
All's fair in love, war and computer equipment.
I'm going to give you a "Hell ya and AMEN" on that quote Omega.
Let me crash this topic into offtopicness for a moment.
The 2 dual modded XP's can you still do that with newer cores?(Looking at the moment for info)

and thanks for the compliments guys
