One too many ale's and......

[BaBa]

Yes the bay and beer are a great combination, now I am the proud owner of an SR-2 and two L5639's soon to become my daily driver

Any advice on case/setup welcome.
What can I get out of the L5639's?

Very few cases can take the 9 PCI slots of an SR-2 without modding. I think you will also need a specialist PSU.

Bah humbug

Elysium will do the trick or any of the cases based on that platform, and a Lian-Li P80 type chassis works fine. Or if money is an issue a HAF932 should do the trick

Are the cpu's extra spicy or stock?

Good thread about it here: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1666888

I had a look at that thread last night but was too tired to form a coherent response

It looks from that (and a couple of other threads) that those chips should be capable of about 3.6GHz. My X5650s are at 4GHz and will complete P8101s and P8103s in about 1.6 days and P8105s in about 1.25 days - well within the 2.4 days preferred deadline. I would think those CPUs at 3.6GHz should get inside the deadlines too, although it might be a bit tight. The final deadline for P810* WUs is 4 days so you should comfortably make that.

As for cases, mine is in an Elysium and works well. I believe the Corsair 900D will take it without modification as well. There's a thread with a list on the EVGA forums http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?m=238992&mpage=1

Ask biffa what he has done with my old caselabs case

That would be perfect for you.

imagen 9 x 780s / titans in that , direct supply from power station to house

The Elysium was my first choice ,future plans would include gpu's so two psu's will be required but they will probably be added after its retired from desktop duty.

As a daily driver it has to be stable rather than at the bleeding edge.

The CPU's are retail.

The eVGA SuperNOVA NEX1500 Classified has all the connections required for a multi GPU SR-2 setup - and, at 1500W, it'll handle pretty much anything you put in it in the future. Not cheap at ~£300 but saves faffing around with two PSUs.

 

[BaBa]

I already have a 1500w and several 1200w psu's from my seti gpu days.

I have gone beyond the 1500w before with three/four HD5970's on Milkyway so its a just in case kind of thing.

 

[Biffa]

You dont need two psu's for a SR-2

What this one?

 

[Schizo]

Now that is one sexy looking case you got there biffa

Quad Titan & a 3930K just can't afford to turn it on

Hahahaha very good

But it does look good though.

 

[Biffa]

I really should put some pics up in the projects forum

 

[Schizo]

Yes you should,kinda regret selling it now as ill be moving into a flat on my own and will have lots more time and room to potter about with a big case,don't think i could ever afford to put 4x titans in there though lol

Fatal combination sah you should know better than venture near the bay while drinking especially with crunching in he blood
