uh, why does one of the links go to computerform? And what motherboard does that barebone have? Does it even support SLI? And i think those cpu's are OEM so you might need some heatsinks ;)

Make sure you dont break the RAID5 config though.

Well theres the lets-put-all-my-movies-on-hdd as well as lets-record-me-playing-videogames-at-35MB/s-for-a-few-hours ;)

And what motherboard does that barebone have?
Well look it up ;) (it's also referred to in my post)

True indeed they are. It's not a lot of work to find retail versions for them so ill not bother updating

How do you think those benchmarks would look? I know breaking 20k in 3DMark05 is hard, but I've never seen such a machine...

Sorry, I play games and do work, I dont play 3dmark. Furthermore, 3dmark is stupid benchmark to run here :)

good point, but that wasnt outlined in the original specification so it wasnt taken into account in that quote.

Due to the subjective nature of the original requirements and given the significant budget, it seemed fair (and would be the only thing to make the system balanced)

In particular:
I use my PC for intense gaming, multi-tasking, and media junk.
i want a media center...
are highly subjective terms.

Why would you say? The video subsystem is not very special, we have people who have that already, but with 128GB of RAM and those Opterons I would think it'd be a little impressive, probably moreso on PCMark.

1. You didnt say PCMark
2. I highly doubt PCMark is optimized for 16-way computing
3. If you notice, that's server memory, not mainstream memory.

1. I realized after thinking about your post that 3DMark wouldn't yeild anything spectacular, so I changed it.
2. Good point.
3. I did notice, would that take away from the glory of 128GB though?
