I saw this at http://www.hotdealsclub.com

The system comes with 2.8GHz Xeon, 73MB 10K SCSI, 256MB RAM

Getting two of these and a RAID card and building a dual-CPU server is possible.

I imagine 1600SC does not come with a video card slot of any kind, though. Please correct me if I am wrong.

You are right, no AGP.

6 expansion slots
2 x 64-bit/100MHz PCI-X (Supports 3.3v or Universal cards)
2 x 64-bit/66MHz PCI (Supports 3.3v or Universal cards)
2 x 32-bit/33MHz PCI (Supports legacy 5v or Universal cards)


So you can get a PCI video card. I think they have Radeon 9200s out there that are PCI.

So, you are planning on getting two of these and clustering? Or getting one with two processors in it?

This is a GREAT server, I got mine a few years back with the free Double your HD (back when they gave you a 2nd drive) Thing still works great, havent had a single issue with it.

Its a little pickey about ram, didnt like anything I threw at it until i bought some from crucial.com
