OT...
@Felix,
I amused to read this thread. I've an old dual-Opteron box that I'm
still using. It was my first "watercooling" experiment. Apart from the
complete lack of power management support (the system sucks down a
continuous 300+Watts) and no Vt-d hardware virtualisation support it's
quite a pleasant rig to play about with :-)
One thing I swear by is my big-ass APC 3000 UPS. I spent as more on my
UPS than my current laptop (and it wasn't a cheap laptop!!) Gradually
switching over to Season-X series PSU's as well. Clean power and good
cooling is a mantra I swear by... I rarely ever have an "act of god"
hardware failure (touch ground)... :-)
Bob
