Hi all
I have been given 2 X5650 cpu's and 8 x 4GB Dimms These ones.
My main aim for this is to do multi-threaded programming, data processing and for running virtual machines so not really interested in fancy gpu's.
Was looking at the following parts and would like your feedback on them or recommendations instead of these.
Motherboard: Supermicro X8DAi Intel 5520
Heatsinks: Intel BXSTS100P Thermal Solution. Are these a good idea I am trying to keep this machine relatively quiet?
I have no idea what Case and PSU to purchase so recommendations would be welcome. I would also be open to the idea of only using one of the cpu's if it makes this much cheaper.
