tutta55 announces Castor and Pollux

[tutta55]

What's it going to be? Wait and see. The plan is made, and first parts on order. More news as it evolves.

The only hint I give now is the name. And no, it's not going to be a dual Xeon or Opty

As the parts trickle in, I will post some pics.

Now if they would have been called Penryn and Nehalem that would have made it a little easier for us

Probably "wet" Penryn and Nehalem.
As I'm pretty sure they will be water cooled .

50% correct. Nehalem is scheduled for end 2008. I'm not that patient.

As I'm pretty sure they will be water cooled .

Again 50% correct.

So one air-Penryn and one in the water ?

[PowerToTheUsers]

Octacore with two Penryn-Xeons?

Well, I won't be childish, and let you in on the plan. As soon as the parts come in, I will begin the build of the new machine. In fact it's only half new. I think I won't get good $$$ for my current system, so I'm keeping most of it. But I'm transferring it in another case together with a new system. That will most likely be Penryn based. For the moment I plan to make 1 system watercooled and 1 aircooled, in the same case. That may change in the future, if my experience with watercooling is good.

I ordered the case today. 2-3 weeks production and delivery time, so don't expect too much news before that

hehe, I see you are adopting my "Twin Something" concept. I'm very curious how it will look like. One thing is for sure and that is that you'll have it up and running before I have mine up and running.
