@Felix, |

I amused to read this thread. I've an old dual-Opteron box that I'm |
| 12 |
still using. It was my first "watercooling" experiment. Apart from the |
| 13 |
complete lack of power management support (the system sucks down a |
| 14 |
continuous 300+Watts) and no Vt-d hardware virtualisation support it's |
| 15 |
quite a pleasant rig to play about with :-) |

One thing I swear by is my big-ass APC 3000 UPS. I spent as more on my |
| 18 |
UPS than my current laptop (and it wasn't a cheap laptop!!) Gradually |
| 19 |
switching over to Season-X series PSU's as well. Clean power and good |
| 20 |
cooling is a mantra I swear by... I rarely ever have an "act of god" |
| 21 |
hardware failure (touch ground)... :-) |
