Sounds like fun! *grins* > 370der with ati rage xl onboard, and scsi onboard & dual EIDE > 370dec just dual EIDE If it was me, and a true high performance server, I'd take the DER model. Turn off the EIDE setup, connect some low speed periphs (CD-Rom, etc.) to the onboard SCSI, and drop in a high performance SCSI/RAID controller in one of the 64 bit slots. > Anyone ever use a supermicro board?

Machine ran flawlessly. I'd highly recommend them... but, be careful which case hardware you use. They also make great cases, which compliment their motherboards very well. --- Andy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
