The arrival of Intel's Clovertown quad core CPUs gave me the opportunity. The primary goal was to maximise parallelism while minimising the cost, and the lowest spec quad cores were cheap enough for me to justify spending the money. So, after months of thinking (and weeks of waiting for parts), last week I finally completed my home-built server.
Here are the headline specs:
- Two Intel Xeon E5310 quad core processors (1.6 GHz)
- Tyan Tempest i5000XL motherboard
- 2GB DDR2-667 fully buffered ECC DIMMs
- OCZ GameXStream 700W power supply (OK, OK, it's a little overpowered, but it was in stock!)
- Other stuff like case, hard disk, DVD drive, video card and wireless LAN card
- Lots of fans to provide soothing ambient noise

Hi Chris,
what is approx. equivalent USD cost ? I might buy a similar system to run Linux Fedora
Thanks

It cost roughly 2700 AUD, which at the current exchange rate is about 2250 USD. However, parts seem to be slightly more expensive here in Australia so you may be able to get a better deal. For example, it was cheaper for me to order the RAM from the US and pay for priority shipping than buy locally (the RAM was the only component ordered from overseas).
These are some of the very useful tips given. A furnace must be maintained overtime. Heating and Cooling Woodbridge
