What Case and PSU?

[arcangel]

Im in a major headache.Ive got all that ive listed below expcet the case and the PSU. This part of the world doesnt give me a great option so i just want to know if this will work. Will Xclio fit my mobo? Is Antec True550 EPS 12V good enough for the the system?

Welcome to the AT Forums, arcangel.

Tyan mobos often require more specialized PSUs. Check Tyan's web site for compatibility. Xclio offers several cases, which one are you talking about? The Silverstone Berserker and several made on the same chassis can handle extended ATX mobos up to 13" or so deep. There are a number of Enermax cases that can handle eATX mobos too.

Dude, nice rig, the Antec TruePower 550 will of course handle your system, assuming you've got the EPS12V model. As it comes with a 24 pin and an 8pin connector. Also, it's got a fair ammount of power.

You want a PC Power And Cooling - Turbo-cool 510 AG

Where exactly did you obtain a K8WE? Just curious, as Tyan Sales told me they've only shipped about 300 of the S2895A2NRF

For a chassis, I'd suggest a ($227) Lian-Li PC-V2000B or a ($130) Enlight EN-8950B00.

Also... 2x512mb? 1 stick per CPU???

Ive been one of the lucky ones to get a hand on the board. im from india and got it from the tyan distributor here who just got one of them as a distributor sample. yea i know its very mean to use one 512 per cpu but as the system already costs me more than 3500$ i have to wait for another couple of months to upgrade them. thanks for the suggestions but i wonder if i get them here....

Are you willing to order online, or do you have to buy them locally?

 

[arcangel]

im ready to get them online if they are ready to ship them to india

Email PCP&C at intlsales@pcpow.com Tell them you want a Turbo-cool 510 AG

The CM Stacker is also a good case from what I've seen.

Split rail isn't mandatory, but all ATX 2.0 PSU comes with split rails

Your PSU has plenty of amperage on the 12V rail

EPS12V is a special, non-ATX standard adopted by the Server System Infrastructure (SSI) group to provide a more powerful and stable environment for critical server-based systems and applications.

The EPS12V standard include a 24-pin motherboard power connector and an 8-pin +12V connector.

EPS == Entry-Level Powersupply Specification. The K8WE uses EPS 3.51 which also includes a 6-pin workstation connector (Which is why I wouldn't use anything but a Turbo-cool 510 AG) in addition to the 24+8pin.

i finally ended up buying a custom made case very spacious and with four fans and never botherred how it looks....
and for PSU i didnt get turbo cool 510 AG....so i finally ordered Antec True550 EPS 12V and expecting it to arrive tomorrow. really excited how the rig is gonna do....
