[geeks] Ahh, the smell of Athlon's burning up

[Shawn Wallbridge]

They are Antec SX1030B cases, 400W Antec Power Supplies, GeForce 4 Ti4600,
80GB Seagate, Athlon 1900+ (aka 1600MHz), Antec JetCool or Retail AMD HSF,
Four Sunon (sp?) 80mm fans. I built them myself.

It's 23C outside, I think it's hotter in here (we do have 50 workstations
running). I am not surprised, these things have always run hot.

Where are you getting 2.2GHz AMD processors? I thought the fastest AMD
processor was a 1.73GHz.

eh.. this box's goal in life is to be a dual 2.2ghz athlon:

who manufactured these boxes? or did you have somebody in house do them?
what kind of power supply? do you have a ton of disk in them? raid
controllers? i just cant see how with four additional fans you'd still
be overheating.
