Case is looking great!
What res will the monitor be?

Gold Leader

2x EVGA Geforce GTX 680 to try the SLI Hack [28nm Keplers, yes]
1x Lucid Hyrda PCI-E x8 cards to force multi GPU with the GTX 680's if SLI Hack won't do it

What do you mean?

***sigh***
 
You have really nice toys.

Yeah well where there is a will to accomplish goals, there is always a way of taking them on even how high the expenses may be :)
 
Even being this might take another 8 months before completetion, at the least I can take my time on it now, after obtained the most difficult to obtain parts, which is the case , side panel and mobo, from this point i will look for the Strider 1500, an Auzentech X-Fi Forte 7.1 PCI-Express sound card with 64MB XRAM and the lighting a few SSD's the CPU's and Ram I plan on taking around August,, then the prices are more worthful.
 
The Dual OpteronDP 2380C2 took also about a year but it's still going on strong, this Dual OpteronMP 6174 HE will be for my flight simulators only, as where the 2380C2 is good enough for the games that even come up the road.
 
But yeah once I get ew items for this new Duallie, I'll make a post to fill in this log topic, a log to how all the parts are applied and gathered, also nice for it's history log, after it has been completed and slowly we shall see this 24 core monster come to life

Can't wait for that stuff to arrive 

i want to see how this turns out good job

May I ask why did you go with a server grade motherboard?  Is it because you can have 256GB of DDR3 ECC lol?

Yeaps the G34 platform is also the i5520 killer when it comes to max performance especially when doing real time flight simulations with Sattelite quallity meshes like that from Real Enviroment Xtreme 2.1 HD + Ultimate Terrain X and all the -Plan and PMDG add ons, REX 2.1 HD supports up to 32 CPU cores, this mobo also will get Dual 16 Core Opteron Interlagos Bulldozer Support, which I plan on taking once they arrive, that is if they are worth taking over the 12 core Mangy Cours CPU's, the 6174 HE /6176 HE's I have in mind now, in most cases the newer Opterons of the next-gen have been the better buy that the ones out atm, so I plan to take my time on this very carefully
 
Ram wise well it's also because I interest such computers alot more, I also plan to use this machine for Blu_Ray Hx264 encoding and a=other scientiffic research. I have worked with 2CPU systems since Jan 28 year 2000 and since then I never wanted a 1 CPU system again, even that I had a few to try 'em out, but they are far too underpowered for my needs, they lack cores also, they lack mass ram support, SAS2-600 controllers are hardly seen, the quallity of the parts is dreadful these days, it's all made in China, which is good enough for a high end 1CPU gaming system which you'd replace every 2 to 3 years, some even replace it within a year and I don't want the need for such expensive upgrades I prefer to build  something very expensive see about 7500 euro's to 8000 euro's and use this to it's maximum levels, just a different choice I have taken with this Dual G34 build.
 
But when it comes to Supermicro, it's either made in USA, Taiwan or Singapore, where the highest quallity of gear comes from, you pay the price but you pay for what it's worth and truly get the highest quallity for what you pay for.
 
Overclocking isn irrelevant in 2CPU / 4CPU land, the more cores will do you alot more in use than just some overclocking, over time an Overclock will bring isntabillity isues especially when running apps 24/7 at 100% load for 5years + or apps that use the CPU alot for short burts of time, I just never liked OC'ing and never saw the needs for it.
 
So as that goes the i7's are good for simplified programs like games, multimedia or entertainment, but when you want to go professional, go Dual Opteron or Dual Xeon with a Supermicro Motherboard or equivilant, ASUS, MSI and Tyan also have good alternatives, but none of them beat the quality of a Supermicro.
I am Gold Leader from 2CPU.com maybe you'd ougtha take a look over there, I can show some nice stuff if you are interested in this segment.

The Supermicro H8DG6-F has Quad Channel DDR3-1333 per CPU so by using all ram slots you have Octo Channel DDR3-1333when using both multicore CPU's   It also has Dual AMD 5690 Chipsets which will feed the PCI-Express slots with an extra boatload of bandwidth and the other is for the CPU's and memory controllers, with Dual Chipsets this also gives more lifespan to the system it's self. :)
 
The parts also just arrived today here a quick look, it arrived within 24 hours from High Flow Rotterdam w00t!

WOLF_TEAM_LEADER

Kit Kat!!!!
And that other stuff looks great, but KIT KAT!

That Kitkat is very tasty good for some Om Noms! Everytime you order something from High Flow Rotterdam they send you a Kit Kat
 

hething

I think that this is going to turn out an incredible rig.. Keep up the good work! 

Yeah thanks  It will take some time now, but the next runenr up is that 12 speed Blue Ray re-writer from Plextor and from that alot of selling and saving up to do. So far so good it's all going as planned
 

rinx5
i want to see how this turns out good job

hehe thank you Yeah well I will make an update once I get new gear and also after receiving it, after the Plextor BluRay drive the next thing I plan on taking might be them Vertex3 SSD's, that is if they can coope with SAS2-600 hehe.

Definitely a stunning build.

cj3waker

you need to go surround or something with this build! having this amazing hardware for flight sim but limiting it to a single small resolution is a crime

Yes that I understand, but room is very limited in my room, but I do plan on taking an EIZO 30"TFT with a S-PVA screen, these cost about 2300 euro's and have the best image quality to which I plan to use.
 
And each system is important for my needs, except the i7 which I have to sell, so selling a few is out of option. My appartment is 65 square metres, that being said I am 100% disabled and moving to a new home is out of option, so I have to do with what I have, but when I want something badly and it wil cost me alot, it may take me a year to save up, but with this build completed I can save up many years for needed upgrades or other things, and enjoy it for avery long time, which is the idea of this project.
 
My room is like this now I placed the new system on my table and this is the room I need to cooperate with:

 
Now it's about like this :)

 That is an old shot, I'll make a new one tonight, that i7 is going to in parts on ebay, it has to go to make the G34 Project more fundable
 

Madrias

Definitely a stunning build.

That it will be, each part will be chosen carefully and it will be built with a lot of pride and love, as being this is the main hobby that keeps my mind in a straight level
 
Just want to thank everyone for their kind replies, thanks again EVGA people!

ahh oke, yeah sounds like an idea :)
So the middle screen stand slike any single monitor would and the ones on the side verticle?
I dunno how the natuaral way would be like, seen some people use all 3 verticle , all 3 horizontal or the two side screens verticle and the middle one horizontal, if possible the most natural way of doing is what I'd prefer then :)
 
As for 3D vision, I tried this, but it has no effect, as being I am 1 of 4% in the world that isa flat viewer, so this is something Ican leave out heh.  As brands go I am an EIZO fan, my last EIZO lived for 21 years, even being itwas a CRT, they have unmatched quality. S-PVA and IPS are indeed the best screens around,, if going 24"they have to be 16:10 aspect and not 16:9 I want a real monitor and not a piece of cloth like a cinema has, I dislike 16:9 , as being used to 16:10, with Flight simming seeing more is the idea
 
3x 1920 x 1200 sounds like a plan, although iiyama also has some nice choices, thx for the idea though , it seems like worth thinking about hehe

ah well at least it savesus extra by not buying that 3D vision stuff, I wonder if there are monitors that are 2 or 3 in one? So you don't have them bezels blocking your view?
 
a Seamless image is always nicer than one with beams connecting them from on to the other right.

yeah, ah well the system is most of importance as for the screen for temporal use i have a 19" samsung B943 , good enough to get the system installed tested and up and running.
 
as for multi GPU support with NVIDIA GeForce cards, well sicne this mobo has no SLI support I will take the advantage on one of these Lucid Hydra PCI-E x8 cards and with one of these I can combine Dual GTX 580's or 680's in the process with anything else of it's kind or from another geenration , you can even mix ATia nd NVDIAI cards, so thx to Lucid smart brainy work, I can do a SLI build in this system which is the main idea VGA card wise

Here is the soundcard that arrived today for the system's sound sollution :)

This a very impressive rig indeed! I'm very happy for you. I've seen a friend playing with flight sims, and the cpu/memory requirements with all the scenery going is impressive. But, if done right, it looks the part!
 
And highflow.nl ftw! That's where all of us cool Dutchies get our gear. Freddy and Michelle are awesome people to deal with!
 
What's your nick on the forums there? I've posted this link in the buildlog section there, hoping you might see it. Mine is brazen.
