Come on guys.....

[Lee H]

I'll have to speak to Supermicro to see if the PSU and whatnot is up to running the newer Intel Xeons.

Once I have this info I'll let you know.

[Trippledence]

Thanks do you mind posting it, instead of PM and i use a combination of my freinds accounts.

[Lee H]

That should be a problem. I've emailed Supermicro this morning so I will let you know as soon as the answer arrives.

Right, I've been asked to enquire which motherboard you intend to use with this case and then we can tell you straight away if its compatible or not.

i would like to use the Thunder i7525 (S2676) its mainly the nocona mounting holes that i need im not worried about the psu
thanks

[Lee H]

Sorry but that boards not going to fit correctly into that case I'm afraid.

any recomendations on a case that board will fit in

[Lee H]

I would personally recommend the casetek 1018 cases as these are sturdy, can house 6 hard-drives as well as 4 IDE drives and can take enhanced ATX motherboards as well as house any ATX power supply.

so this case would deffinatly support dual nocona xeons on the Thunder i7525 (S2676)mother board http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...roductID=58927

cheers

[Lee H]

Yes. It's basically the same as the enermax CS-10182 thats on the supported list on the tyan website as shown below;

http://www.tyan.com/support/html/r_s2676.html

The motherboard is an Enhanced-ATX and should come with the replacement I/O sheild so the case is most suitable.

I have a few of the 1018's at home and they are great cases to work with, and the easy installation rails that are included for the 5.25" and 3.5" bays

Hope this Information helps,

Best Regards,
