Hey guys
Long time stalker, first time poster.
I'm about to start a build for my new home office machine, and I'm hoping to go with a server motherboard. My plan is
ASUS KGPE-D16
2x MagnyCours AMDs (8 cores each, of course)
32GB of ripjaws (because I think they look cool)
etc
I'll buy an inexpensive case since it'll be out of sight, but I could use some recommendations for cases that have filters on the vents, since this will be in a somewhat dusty (yet cool) location.
Here's what I really want to know: can I really put two double-wide PCI-E video cards in there? I've got three 24" flat panels, and I want the center screen on a dedicated card and the two outside displays on a shared card. I'll match the cards, but:
- Can anyone recommend a good value for money card with decent heat propertied?
- Can I really put two double-wides in there without overheating?
Also, can I squeeze in a USB 3 card to get me a few more ports (on a dedicated bus)?
Thanks in advance for your help.
