    A+B : != sources of energy ( different sources of energy ). "power, cooling, remote management, lots of I/O options, and the ability to slap in newer hardware later with a minimal capital investment, then a blade enclosure is probably right for you" I want all of those except lot of IO options...

    Appreciate you input. I've discarded such approach since I've read about someone in WHT or LET to put into use his HP blade and if my memory serves me right he was sort of question about what you mention : power consumption . I'd go into a warehouse in .ro . Concerning the a+b : I doubt the...

    Potential Deal: 2 x Dual 2011 nodes @$199, Quanta Openrack

    Actually what I'm seeking to achieve is to cram as many e5's as possible. I can make use of a single drive if needed but a big amount of cpus is my goal ( as rock bottom as possible) . Is there any enclosure that would allow me to place more powerful cpus / mobos/ram when mine get so...

If one of my boxes...

    Dear lord your are out of you f mind hahah. Can you please take some extra pics ? I'll re read all the thread to see the way to plunge those bloody e5 v2 :). As for the cpu blades : once I'm 100% sure the cpus work as I intend to I'll see what I can do with the enclosures ( made 'À la carte' ) .

    I assume you mean that the quanta is close to $160 . What I don't get is : Why do you mention it does not include enclosure nor PSU ? I've seen this one : QUANTA WINDMILL SYSTEM 2 NODES W/ SYSTEM BOARD HEATSINK LGA2011 | eBay I assume it's not V2 and it wont have e5 v2 capabilities, right ...

    QUANTA WINDMILL v2 SYSTEM NODES 4x 12 CORE E5-2695v2 2.4GHz 128GB 2x 2TB SATA | eBay I should put the price of 4x cpus of that type closer to the 1.5k range, but still.

    Guys. Read most of the thread but I'm unsure if the same cheap $170 quanta chassis and mobo is the one being used here . I understand that in my sample seller makes use of one of the best V2's available but : say 1k for cpus 500-600 for ram 200 for drives so why does that config come so...
