Need to build a rackmount server
I have been asked to build 1, maybe two rackmount case servers. I was considering this case:

I'm ready to order immediately. I was thinking of that case, FSP 450w, P5B Deluxe, 2gb pc6400 xms2, c2d e6600, seagate 320gb. This is for a business that I am friends with. Will all these fit into that case?
If anyone would like to recommend another processor, motherboard, etc. I'm very open at the moment. Last edited by newbuilder14; 09-28-2006 at 07:18 PM. |

I'm sorry to bump this by double posting, but I am about to order these parts for a server:
-Western Digital Raptor 74gb -Sapphire Radeon x550 -Sony Black DVD-ROM -Antec TruePower II 550w -Corsair XMS2 2gb PC6400 -Asus P5B Deluxe -Intel Core 2 Duo e6600 All to be placed in this case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811182566 I'm am ordering sometime tomorrow, I have gotten the okay to do so. Everything look compatible, for a server. Oh, and don't worry about an operating system, or anything such as that, I will install Linux FC5 on this which is 64bit. |

Doesn't anyone have any insight on this? Can you all tell me if Linux Fedora Core 5 will run on this?

We don't live here.
 Your specs look fine. That case will handle an ATX board. I can't say for sure about Fedora, but I don't see any reason that it wouldn't work. |

Thanks and sorry for being annoying. Actually I read the P965 chipset can not work with Fedora Core 5 so I will go with a Intel 975x.

Newb question: will ddr2 675 work on the Bad Axe?
Also is the x550 a good budget card to use for a server running no more than command mode? |

After-order anxiety: will that PSU fit in the back of that 4u rackmount. If you look at the pictures here, I think it should:
