I'm doubtful about Case and PSU
Till now I've used the Stacker by Coolermaster
-Case 185.18euro
Case Tower Cooler Master Stacker 831
Black 831 Special Edition (RC-831-KKN2-GP)
I'd like to try a new one; if someone of you can advice me a full tower
with good air flux on the same price more or less, accordly with your
experience.
Other available models on the shop I'm referring to are: Aerocool, Coolermaster, Enermax and Silverstone.
-PSU
About PSU I've no idea
this models available on the shop: Antec, Be Quiet, Coolermaster,
Corsair, Enermax, Nesteq, Nox, Seasonic, Silverstone, Yang-TI, Zalman.
Too much choice for me. Till now I've had experience just with Enermax
and Coolermaster, and I have had no problem; anyway I'd like an advice.
Take in consideration that I'd like to make a machine that could
"survive" for a long time .
Just 2 question now please that could help me to better understand hardware configuration:
1) Xeon E5520 has a FSB clock of 1033Mhz while Kingston ram I've
choosen is 1333Mhz. This difference could make the ram utilization not
complete? So have I to buy a ram with a FSB clock of 1066Mhz like the
CPU?
2)My little renderfarm is composed by 3 PCs with this configuration:
Xeon E5410, S5000XVN motherboard, 8gb of RAM..
Could the hardware difference with the new machine I'd like to do
create some problems during distribute rendering with 3dsmax + Vray?
That's all, I thank you very much in advance for any kind of help.
Bye!
