I need some help choosing a MB!
Instead of asking ME what MY needs are. I would like to hear what YOU would do with this hardware and why.
This will help me by hearing from those that have or want to have a system based on this hardware I have.
I posted here because its STARTS with a Motherboard! (is it okay to ask what PSU as well?)
HARDWARE:
2 Xeon x5560 2.8GHZ 1333
6 sticks of 4GB 2Rx4 PC3-10600R-09-10-E0-D2
2 SAS PERC6/IR W/BBU's (RAID 1 or 0)
1 SAS PERC5/IA 256MB MEM MODULE W/BBU (RAID 0,1,10,5,50)
1 SAS PERC6/E 512MB MEM MODULE W/BBU (RAID all including 6,60)
20 (twenty) 147GB 10K 2.5 SAS drives
9 (nine) 146GB 15K 3.5 SAS drives
4 (four) 73GB 15K 3.5 SAS drives
1 (one) 300GB 10K 3.5 SAS drive
3 (three) 300GB ultra320 SCSI drives
USB 3.0 controller
eSATA controller
Many VIDEO cards NVIDEA and ATI (PCI and PCIE)
Software no issue I got it. including VMware (not the free one)
So what do you say, help me out with some ideas?
Which hardware would you choose to use as well?
WhiteHat (with a Black rim and feather!)
