Yep, in this case feel free to call me a wimp.
I've seen pieces of a 8350,
I really don't want to mess with something that big, and slow unless it's
a 11/780.
11/780s definitely have personality.
Um... I saw this on eBay yesterday, and as I read it,
it's basically just
the CPU. I'm sorry, I do not consider this a good first system. I
maintain that the best first system is either a 3100 or 4000 series system.
Call me adventurous... ;)
BTW, what's the power and cooling requirements for
one of these puppies?
Not too bad, actually, as long as you don't try to run RA-series
disks on it.
You really need to consider that, and the fact
it's apparently in a 40"
Rack! Remember shipping was one of his concerns <shudder>.
True...But the 8350 is a 10.5" chassis that can be re-racked to
coexist with other hardware. I really like the BA32 chassis. :-)
