hi = List,
I am planning on building a 32core machine next = week.
 
It's going to be a :
Supermicro H8DG-6-F AMD = server
AMD Opteron Interlagos 6272 = (2x)
Kingston KTD-PE316K4/32GB kit = (2x)
 
Coolermaster HAF X tower case
Antec True Power Quattro = 1200 EC
Noctua NH-U9DO A3 Cpu Cooler = (2x)
 
Intel SSD 520 series 180GB = (2x)
 
 
I still have 2x Quadro FX 4800 cards, that will go = in.
And some other stuff, like BluRay burner = etc.
 
I'm planning on running Windows 7 Pro 64bit (that will = allow for up to 192 Gb of Ram)
 
It's mainly for Adobe = Master CS6 (AE, AME, PR), Cinema4d and for creating = DCPs.
 
Is there anything that I should think of, before ordering = the build ?
 
Thx a lot !
 
kind = regards,
 
Marcel van = Berk
 
Hoge = Bomen/LSSLSS
