I know and it breaks my heart to be in a rush - but since it is a company buy (have a small company myself besides my job) and if i don't do it by december 31 st - I will loose a lot of benefits, since I will be personally taxable of the profits :) (Denmark over 50% tax). In short if i buy now...

@gigatexal I was unclear, got pretty hooked on the board you showed me - if i can get at the price i saw plus the 2 x 2670 - I will be a happy wannabe nerd. So found a few shops I need to call tomorrow, if that works out, I can order that right away. The reason it needing to work out, is that...

Hi guys, Hope you can give me some advice, first post in here To be clear, I don't expect you to give me an exact build, but the different Xeon models and boards are a jungle and not sure how much power i need. Looking for a server to have at home, I do a little website development and...
