The thing is the Mac is still in a sealed box and i can still return it. I
was trying to figure out if anyone has come up with a solution for
installation on snow leopard. If not, i would think it'll be better to
return the Mac and get a linux system instead , rather than purchase another
hard drive. Does the linux system configuration below seem reasonable for
SGE+FSL type application:
Mid Tower ATX Case with UL approved Redundant Power Supply
(2) Hot Swap Removable Drive Carriers
Dual Socket Intel Motherboard with Intel 5500 Chipset
(2) Intel Xeon X5550, Quad Core 2.66GHz CPU with Heat Sink and Fan
12GB DDR3 1333 Mhz ECC Registered System Memory
(2) 1TB SATA II 7200 RPM Hard Drive (RAID 1 for OS)
3Ware 2-Port SATAII RAID Controller
DVD +/- RW
Onboard Graphics
(2) 10/100/1000 BaseT Gigabit Network Adapter on Motherboard
Fedora Core 12 64-bit Linux OS
