Thanks for all the interest in this thread, damn guys you wrote a lot since I last looked here Anyway, I ended up making a deal way better than I thought I would, about 1/5 of the price I wanted to spend and around twice the size I need, I got a huge case on my hands for close to no money. The whole purpose is to build a 2nd system to bench up against my killer panda pc. I have not yet put up any benchmarks or other numbers of the killer panda, as I found out it's really hard to compare, if you don't do the benches in the exact same manner. So here is the question - I am slowly stating to build up the 2nd system and have already ordered the parts I want to use, would you like a new thread with teasers about what it's all about? It's kind of an experiment I'm trying out, so I can compare two unique systems against each other. or would you prefer to wait, so I don't make the 2nd thread until I have actual work to show? The killer panda thread got very cluttered imo.
Yeh probably best just to wait till you kick it off proper. You could do the build log in project logs, then a separate thread in here (hardware) for the benchmark comparisons of the 2 systems. Others can then chirp in with how their system(s) compare etc.
