Well, after a couple of minor "WTF?" moments, and a kernel upgrade, I've 
managed to get the liquid-cooled beast I had at Warpstock 2005 up and 
running with 4 CPU cores active.

Don't know if I've seen any messages with this result before, so I 
thought I should post some pictures.

The original Opteron 244 single-cores were swapped out some time ago for 
a pair of dual-core Opteron 270's running at 2.0GHz.

System board is a Tyan S2885 with 2GB of RAM, booting from a 200GB SATA 
drive using the onboard controller.

Yee-ha!

SysBench results to follow :)
