Retro Server Build - The Ratdude AT Rackmount Server Case Saga!

[Topcat]

You sure realize who your friends are when they grab things they think you'd like....like a NOS AT Rackmount server case that turned up at a Goodwill store in Indiana....and even hand-delivered it!





Inside:





The build in mind is a retro from way back that I'm redoing for this case.... Tyan S1564D dual socket 7.



The beginning...some of those standoffs will have to be surgically removed...



....but the first test fit was good!







A lot of things still need to be figured out, but Merry Christmas to me!!

The motherboard was from THIS THREAD....I'm repurposing it for this build.... This case is worth of such an awesome motherboard. Supermicro Makes an AT dual socket8 (P6DNE), but the odds of finding one are pretty much nill....
