Well bit of an update...
I decided to install everything standard ie PSU and HD etc just incase there were any RMA's that needed making which turned out to be totally straight forward......well apart from a bios flash to version 1.1 on the Tyan m/b so it recognised the new Dual Core Opterons but apart from that not one single problem. i realise now why Nexxo has been running dual CPU's....this thing is so stable and cool.........CPU-1 22 degrees CPU-2 21 degrees but i would expect this to rise once the front end of the case is in place (which will block air flow to the rad) and i start to stress them a bit
Anyway, pulled everything back out and had to slightly mod the PSU so it fitted properly but nothing major and then added a Nexus fan controller...
In its standard form
but as it wasn't going into a drive bay it had to come to bits
I've mounted it this way before to the Fliyin Banana but here goes again...first mask the top of the case off again to protect it
mark out where to drill the holes
and drill
then is just a case of deburring the holes, fastening the controller into place using the nuts
and adding the silver knobs!
This is the first case i've been able to use the flip up USB thingy due to fitting rads into the other three
While i had everything back out of the case i LED moded all the blocks and fitted 3mm LED to them all which kinnda looks nice so i'll finish with a few pictures of them fitted and lit up............i've now got to read up on how to set the BIOS up properly as there is some stuff like "Hammer Configuration" that's all a bit new to me and really want to get the best from this system, not surprisingly
