Hey guys, my rich friend is building a new house and his step-dad wants a dual-proc server for file-transfer and what-not..what i need to know is, what opterons should i get? i think the 2xx opterons are for dualies, but also what mobo? i hear the asus sk8n is nice, but asus is just kinda expensive...o well, they're rich anyways...

any info on what he should put inside? plz give some input
 
Dual Opterons for a fileserver? A bit overkill... but... Deffinatly some 2xx's (duh). I would get 240's jsut because not too much processing power will be needed. Mobo wise... I guess tyan would be the winner as of now, unless you want to go with msi and the kt800. Ram... You're gonna need registered, and lots of it. Since its file server, and hes rich. Get a ton or raptor drives and make a raid. :D
