Inside “My Beautiful Monster”
You can see the two Duel-Core Intel Xeons, the ATI 4870 X2 vid card, and more fans here |
A night-vision of the VisionTek ATI 4870 X2 |
And the actual ATI 4870 X2 also with two soundcards (and there’s a big reason for those both installed) |
View of the plastic air-flow shield (or whatever you call it to cool off a server CPU and memory) |
And here ALL eight(8) 1GB ECC DDR2 RAM sticks with the two Intel Xeons |
I love the fans, there’s total of six(6) High-Velocity fans in the case (4 internal & 2 external(rear) fans) |
This is one of the five(5) Hot-Swap (means you can pull this out WHILE the system is running) Hard-drives. There are six drives - five SCSI 10k RPM 73GB HDDs and one SATA 320GB 7.2k RPM HDD. All drives are by Seagate. |
And the front view of the system… |
