Hi,

If you're looking to house 2xCards the Dell T3500 an extremely cheap option and it is solid. They sell for peanuts, I got a X5675 (hex core @ 3.06GHz), 12GB RAM, 500GB drive and NVidia Passive graphics card for £150 inc del. Its quiet and takes my 2xUAD1 cards. Also came with Win7 Pro. Most stable Scope machine I've ever had but wish it would take 3 cards :lol:

Anyway, cheap is deep lol.

Regards,
CGF

I've been running my Xite-1 on one of these for a while now, and you are correct. Quite stable and dirt cheap. The only thing with running PCI cards on these is I'm really not sure if there are differences in MB's and it seems hard to check for sure if buying on ebay.
Another thing: I had to cut out a lot of the internal of the case to make more space but some tin snips did the job nicely.
Glad it is working out for you.

Can you run a masterverb test on your system and post on the masterverb test thread?

Hi Yayajohn,
I posted my results of the verbtest . I get overflow on the 10th verb. I still tweaking the machine. I have noticed that I can keep virtual cores on without Scope crashing like my last system.

Just installed my 2 extra Scope Project cards on this for my 3rd Scope machine. Why not eh? :)
