just a note: don't have a long enough scsi cable for the drives, you'll need to find a 24" or probably a 36"'er

$300 highest, prices getting in OK to sell range



I haven't setup the drives on the SCSI card... the Drives will need their jumpers configured correctly and also the SCSI card will need to be configured. I don't provide support for this as I've never even done it before and am not willing to mess with it. I also don't have a terminator for my short cable so I can't really test the drives on it, but they all spin up and were working when I got them, so no reason they shouldn't work for you.

The SCSI RAID card is a DPT I2O

what can someone do with 3 9gb drives? jeezum crow, my OS's take up more room than that...that said, i have 3 20gb scsi raptors if anyone is interested

have you even power-on tested the system in that configuration?

'cause I'd wager it won't boot past the SCSI BIOS with that Creative card in there. Not that anyone should be running 3 10kRPM drives off of a single channel Ultra2 controller that peaks at around 20MB/sec RAID-5 throughput...

might want to mention that you blew out the integrated NIC and that rev 1.0 760MPX chipsets have busted USB which is why that USB 2.0 card came in the box

also, are the Athlons mobile Bartons? If not, good luck running them stably with those SCSI drives and a good 30-40 watts of fans on that PSU.

this is not a desktop system, it's a very quirky platform that CAN be very stable, but almost certainly not as configured. you should not dump a few hundred on it unless you know what you're getting into.

you're retarded.

the board DOES NOT EVEN HAVE BUILT IN NIC OR USB, so fuck off. It has the PCI nic/usb included. go elsewhere.


There are currently 9 case fans and 6 ata hard drives in this thing running 100% stable at full load, once again, fuck off and go flame in the gift card thread.



and as stated previously, if you dont want the scsi i'll just add in a decent hard drive to make up for it, or knock some $ off for neither.

I'm not the one cashing out some potluck shit from my parts bin I've never tested and passing it off like it's been used in that configuration "stably for 1 year"

and there are multiple variants of the K7D Master differentiated by the integrated featureset... of course, since you apparently don't know the model (K7 Master is their old high end single CPU line), never mind the version, it's pretty hard to tell these things

you're trying to rip off some idiot who has no idea how to configure that system I don't think that's very polite

don't get me wrong, this could be a great computer. I just don't see why you're bundling things that you haven't tested and advertising it as "stable for 1+ year"... or "great for RAID". I thought it was intentional misrepresentation, maybe it's not... either way, 760MPX is a very quirky chipset that should never be advertised as "stable" unless all components have been verified together. It has issues with some Creative cards and particularly SCSI cards with large option ROMs. The DPT card does have a fairly extensive BIOS, though it's possible that it does not encounter this limitation. 760MPX did have faulty on-chip USB in its first revision and the board does have headers (if not ports, which I thought it had) for it. The K7D Master-L did have integrated Ethernet, while the K7D Master did not. Presumably, as you say this does not, it is the K7D Master variant. However, the K7D Master L did ship with a USB 2.0 card, on account of the faulty on-chip USB, so I assumed. I suppose I apoligize for the manner in which I initially presented this information, which certainly was rude if this was not intentional misrepresentation.

If you can't tell, I had a lot of fun with my 760MPX that I wouldn't wish upon anyone... took days to find the Compaq OEM drivers that worked with the Audigy and it nuked a perfectly good 400W PSU... also had a lot of fun realizing that the DPT card I had was free because it was slow, rather than slow because of a configuration problem

i've used multiple creative cards and they all worked. the old drivers for creative had problems with ANY dual CPU setup.

if you would have read my 2nd post you would have seen my *EDIT* to the SCSI deal before you started ruining my classifieds add. This was 6 hours after my post.

With the later BIOS revisions the board became much more stable and as I've said, with ALL of the hardware above (not SCSI) it has ran for a month without a reboot doing HEAVY video encoding, audio encoding, dvd burning, etc etc etc.

This system in it's current form is 99.99% stable that 0.01% is for you!

Oh, I didn't realize it was all of them. I had an early Tyan dual-athlon board with the same problem...though I never could get it to recognize the USB card that was included with the board, had to go buy another one.

Mine ran quite stable otherwise though. Ended up giving it to my parents when I upgraded to a single athlon64 3700+, and they've had no complaints.

4/12/2006 2:41:57 AM

the usb 2.0 card included works great for me.

4/12/2006 12:10:00 PM

Oh, I wasn't trying to imply that yours was bad. MSI probably has one from a different manufacturer than Tyan used. Or mine was just individually faulty, one of the two.

4/12/2006 6:26:32 PM

anyone interested in this system?

make me an offer i guess. i will consider parting this out since i do have an offer on the cpu's already.
