SMP System Smackdown

It's God Box vs. Nerd Box over at Ars Technica. Those guys get some kick ass dual cpu action going with P3 560s and C504s. No idea how much longer Intel will allow SMP with S370 Celerons though. Crazy =

All of the SC-750's fan mounts are occupied in the Nerd Box, and there are a couple of fans mounted in places where SuperMicro never really intended. Including the power supply and TNT card, I count a total of 19 fans in the Nerd Box. Don't think this thing doesn't sound like a 767 taking off, especially once that 10,000 rpm SCSI drive spins up. But to a true PC performance freak, it's music to the ears.
