I just put a couple of these together in a Oracle Database Cluster: http://www.sun.com/servers/midrange/m5000/specs.xml

8 Dual-Core CPU's and Each Core handles 2 threads of execution simultaneously = 32 CPU's (how the system sees it).

64 GB Memory (256 GB Max).

System Bus bandwidth (Memory) 64 GB/s peak, 24.831 GB/s stream (Copy)
System Bus bandwidth (IO) 16GB/s PEAK

Server can be Hardware Isolated into 4 separate servers (2 is max recommended IMHO).

Even with sending Millions of Transactions at them, I think they are just yawning

:quirky I was waiting for someone to say this.

These cables are managed. Theres no other way to run them. I'm not buying expensive extra long cables so people can think the inside of my windowless case looks pretty.

Everything in my computer runs cool. I have 2x 114 cubic feet per minute fans in there. Whether or not my cables look pretty is a "who cares" to me. :banghead:

Yes. 3x 500GB, 3x 1TB.

I bought this case because it has the ability to hold 23 hard drives without any serious modification. So far the max I've had though has been 8 drives in it.

Looks like you got some serious storage in there. 4.5TB worth from one of the other posts right? I didn't quote that one Sounds like you have a few 720p movies from torrentz.com on there. My 750 is darn near full. 720p movies from the web pwn3z me

The lack of cable management was more of a joke. Don't get the panties twisted That's a super hard case to manage cables in. My case is windowless too. However I did mine up for airflow. You'd be surprised of what my other case looked like before I put my gear in this case

Aw heck, lets just post up a picture. haha!

Yea, 4.5TB.. 1TB PC Games, 2.5TB TV Shows/Documentaries, the rest is movies, music, iphone apps, software, wallpapers, pictures, cartoons, etc.. I'm actually pretty full.. I need to buy 3 or 4 more 1tb hard drives if I ever get the money.

Wow. I didn't realize so many gun guys were computer geeks like me too. But I'm now thinking of giving them both up for the jacuzi bus hobby. To date my computer skills my computer skills just dont have the impact on the ladies like that. :quirky
