I don't think its possible to fit even 2 full ATX boards into 1 helmer... better to buy ATX tower case, but maybe mATX later onI want an ATX version of this... ATX can have an i2p.
I think you might be surprised.I don't think its possible to fit even 2 full ATX boards into 1 helmer... better to buy ATX tower case, but maybe mATX later on
Yes I was looking at that setup, unfortunately these mATX 2011 v3 boards are 244 x 244 in size, bigger than the drawer, will only fit inside helmer if the drawers are removed.The reason for mATX would be socket 2011 or 2011/3 64GB of ram and 18c.
Not that I could afford a E5-2699... but... it would fit.
However a 2011 v2 dodeca and 64Gb of ram... totally doable.
Angle mount? When there is a will.... 244mm x244mm is standard mATX spec so... don't know what to tell youYes I was looking at that setup, unfortunately these mATX 2011 v3 boards are 244 x 244 in size, bigger than the drawer, will only fit inside helmer if the drawers are removed.
Maybe sometime later I will do some new setup for these boards, it could be all placed on 1 aluminum plate i guess.
Each node only needs 150W, so I got 300W PSU, but thanks for advice about airflow!I'm not sure your power requirements but I'd go with the ANTEC EarthWatts PSU that blows air in/out vs Up/Down. (The same PSU people throw in a 2U and 4U chassis thats ~$40 and works good.) Then have all the air blowing in one direction. Ideally the HeatSink fan should flow air the same way instead of up/down too for ultimate 'cooling'. Another idea would be to duct all rear air down and away instead of just 'out the back'.
Just my ideas from a glance. I like it though
Awesome, that would be a great PSU then for your setup and airflow.Each node only needs 150W, so I got 300W PSU, but thanks for advice about airflow!
I wish I could get my hands on that Xeon-D boards to try it out myselfI would so love the hear the knowledgeable persons on this forums take on putting the Intel Xeon-D boards Patrick been posting about the last Days in this cabinett. With some 1TB SSDs and 5-6 chassis with those boards it would make for one crazy VMhost.
