This is actually not really the right newsgroup for this
post (I have already tried hardware newsgroups, but none seem centered on the
x86-64) …That being said I am certain someone here has had experience
with something at least close to this situation. I would very much like
to build a Supermicro X6DHE-XG2 motherboard computer with dual Xeon processors…these
are apparently clones of the AMD Opteron (except for missing certain
proprietary chip instruction sets)…I plan to run Debian AMD64 on these
systems eventually, however the real question I have is unfortunately, far more
primitive, which is simply can I build these machines with standard cases (what
is Extended ATX????) , I am thinking of the Thermaltake Xaser III, will this
support the heatsink? |
