Listen to 171 too. @servethehome is a big SuperMicro user. We talked about his Xeon setup on the show.

Nice looking build. Is that a Lian-Li case - it sure has 'the Lian-Li look' to me?

Thanks ikon.
Pics taken ( Aug 10 ) Running WHS V1
Changed a little since then,
Case - Fractal, Define R2
The Case was launched over here (Aus) Mid to late 2010.

Interesting. I will have to look more closely at Fractal. As I said, it sure looks like a Lian-Li in many ways, including construction quality. I had to ask because I found it odd that there was no Lian-Li logo on the front.

True.
