so....I had to rebuild my storage server into a 4u server chassis, and the thing was working perfectly (albeit installed to a wood table with nuts and bolts) and as soon as I installed it into the server chassis all sorts of weird crap started happening. to explain whats going on, that I cannot...

although that was largely true for the first iteration of pci express, the bandwidths were SIGNIFICANTLY raised with the versions 2.0 and even more so with 3.0, so heavy I/O tasks are now infinitely more suited to pci-e, especially so with 3.0, the bandwidths with 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 respectively...

the video cards power consumption, for the base nvidia design, is 165W vs the 265 for the xeon phi card, so I can always run the video cards over that extension cable, and even get a powered extension cable if nesasary, I just want to know if it will work to its fullest potential and still spit...

first off, I want to say, that for one this is a future build for when I can actually afford it; second, this is being built to be my only pc for every task that I have, be it gaming, multimedia editing/encoding, or any other task that I would use a computer for. now for the question: would a...
