Johnny (SFF SSI-CEB Server X79 Xeon)
This build is mostly for documentation of my server. It's gone through changes before but my latest move was to cram everything in a small of a case as possible.
This is my result.
Main components:
Thermaltake Core G3 (would really want a Sliger Cerberus X, but they are way too expensive for me)
Intel Xeon E5 2680 v2
Asus X79 WS (Bios mod to boot from nvme drives)
32Gb Samsung ECC 1866 CL13
GTX980Ti
SF750 v2
I didn't take any photos when I built it, so some photos after will have to do. I recently put in the 92mm fan above the GPU with some rubber screws as the GPU can get quite toasty. There is only a single 120mm mount in the top, so a 92mm was the biggest I could fit without drilling new holes.
The X79 mobo is SSI-CEB formfactor which is almost as big as E-ATX and the case is only 24 liters big, so it is quite a tight fit. That's why there are some zipties holding the GPU in place, the included GPU support legs can not be mounted as the holes are covered up by the motherboard.
Upgrades I want to get:
Another 32gb 1866mhz ECC kit
The E5 2697 v2 (12c/24t)
Sliger Cerberus X
