... so you are the fella that out bid me! Ive been on a server craze on ebay as of late this wouldve been awesome for me to get :P

I had picked up this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...e=STRK:MESE:IT since I had the Blade chassis in my garage stored, but then after I received it and went to get my chassis I realized heh I didnt have it anymore, my garage was broken into and all my metal items had been stolen when i was gone.... So I listed it for what I paid for it! I have this one comming now http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWNX:IT about 1/5 as good as the xeon but it works I guess

so far the server has been great..... it came with no caddies.... every copy of windows I have is not compat with the server..... and I was out bid on every single hdd i bid on. I am hoping to get this thing running by tomorrow evening. The thing is loud!! but I expected as much. I do find it funny that the server supports upto 12gbs of ecc ram, but the server does not support a x64 os .... go figure

not surprising with a server platform. they generally support large ram capacities , as depending on what your doing, you may not need storage, but a ton of ram.
