This is a picture of the new computer I built.
It will be used for number-crunching.
I have a water cooling system, but I am worried one day a rupture will ruin the RAM, so I used fans instead.
The fan on CPU1 (a dual-core Opteron) had to be smaller because a bigger one simply didn’t fit.
The beast makes too much noise to keep it in the room so I put in in the cellar - nice and cold there. I remote it with Remote Desktop over WiFi, works great. You should see the looks of visitors when I show them, on the external monitor of my laptop, the “My Computer” properties of 64 GB RAM :-D
For those wondering about where to get a mobo with 16 DIMM slots: It’s the Iwill DK88. 64 GB is an expensive proposition - 14 kilobucks at the time of writing. Luckily, my company is an authorized hardware dealer, so I get stuff cheaper.
