| 850607 | 2010-01-21 19:05:00 | I am planning on getting a dual CPU setup with two 975's. What I want to know is how do I handle cpu cooling?. I doubt if I'll have room in a mid tower case.for 2 hydro 50's. |

| 850608 | 2010-01-21 20:35:00 | Will probably get a full tower case. :) |

I doubt if I'll have room in a mid tower case.for 2 hydro 50's. is that the i7?, what speed is it running at?, seriously, why do you think you need another?.... It would be very expensive as you need the server versions of the i7 Xeon's which support SMP between the processors and 2 banks of RAM, a very expensive motherboard and of course a e-atx case to fit it all.... What is slowing you down?... |

| 850612 | 2010-01-21 22:28:00 | Sounds like an exciting setup. pablo d, know of any base prices yet for the Gulftowns? |

| 850613 | 2010-01-21 22:29:00 | Nope, but if I were to hazard a guess, I'd say one arm and at least half a leg :> | pablo d (15490) | ||
| 850614 | 2010-01-21 22:39:00 | I guess I'll start saving now. Haha. JJJJJ, what sort of mother board do you have -or are planing to have-? |

Oh, buy the way, nV Fermi should be out in April, looking exciting for future gaming.....and the GPU is a monster, should hand a can of woopass to ATi |
