After doing a little bit of googling, I have decided on the Dynatron DC1206BM-R1 for my 1U cooling needs. It got a favorable review at FrostyTech, which seemed to have more 1U cooling reviews in one spot than anywhere else that I have seen.
It’s made of solid copper, with more fins than any of the other coolers I looked at.
It is available for $18 + shipping at some random Yahoo store in California.
What Memory?
I’m not sure which memory to go with. Crucial says that it can take straight up PC100, ECC, and ECC Registered. I don’t have enough server experience to know which one to go with. My gut says ECC Registered because it’s a server platform and that is the most expensive stuff available. Any thoughts? Is Registered ECC worth the $17 per 256MB stick difference over straight PC100? I dunno.
