Hi, Guest
^^ Been there, done that when we had that blackout 2 years ago... the servers kept trucking on battery while the cooling went down. Yech.
We shut them all down accordingly, but MAN did it get hot in there.
I'm glad you like em :)
Congrats on fixing that memory issue... it confused me at first when I built my first S939 box on my Asus A8V-Deluxe (great idea, crappy execution of a board).
You can get a S939 Venice 3000+ for under 180 bucks, a good S939 NForce 4-based motherboard for about 100, 2 sticks of Samsung 512MB DDR400 for 50-60 each, and a new HD for under 100. Add in a generic case and PSU for about 60, DVD burner for 50... and find your own OS / buy an OEM for 150.
That's approximately 610 bucks for a basic system with a 80-100GB HD and everything before taxes. Go with a real MS OS (if Linux isn't your thing) for under 800 before tax.
That's a box with integrated video, so add about 150 for a decent, mid-weight video card.
