I have a local computer store where I live but their prices are alot higher than newegg. For my same processor they want $159 and I payed $129 through newegg. Just that one part alone almost pays for the shipping.
P.S. I am going to build it at home and then ship it to the data center.

yeah. well back here in manila, philippines, theres this street where all the computer parts retailers have their own stores. that street is geek heaven i tell you. lots of people with glasses on. anyway, since competition there is tight, they keep their prices very low to get sales.

That's cool. I think in England there are shops that work the same way, and their prices of course are very cheap

You guys are luckey all of the local shops by my house are at least 20% higher. On a side note I cant wait to test this beast out. I am sure its going to be a very fast server.

Well I had all the parts by friday and spent the better part of the weekend trying to work the bugs out. All I can say is I will never buy another AMD server again. It gave me headache after headache, but its up and running now and all is good. At least I know how to fix/make it work with linux if I ever had to reformat it. I did a server bench mark on it my old server could only do a 138 using the same test the new AMD server benched a 275 . So its alot faster than the old server.
