Finished


My new Opteron 170 system is finally up and running. Have not had much time to play with it because I was busy reinstalling Windows and a lot of programs. Seems okay so far. Running at 2.7GHz with 1.36v at the moment. As many people have found out, the dual cores run hot. May need to consider watercooling sooner than later. The UFO case is fantastic. Having all that extra room makes a big difference for me. The case takes up half the space under my desk, but I still have room to stretch my legs.

Thanks. I need to work on wire management, something I was never very good at. Fortunately, most of the wires are on the side of the case nearest the wall, so they're hidden from view.

Thanks, Tario. I've always liked black for cases. But the black powder coating will show fingerprints, etc. So it requires a little more maintenance than the brushed aluminum.
