flash bios for quad-core support

If you're using this for the hot-swap SATA bays, I'd definitely recommend the Areca 1210 controller, don't go with the nvidia on-board.

We've got about 8 of these, not a single failure, rock solid Linux support.

You must flash the bios for this to POST with a Quad-core processor. Had to steal an older dual-core from another machine so I could boot up and flash the bios. After that it worked great, though a bit of a pain.

Unbeatable for the money

Don't forget to check your BIOS version. At the time of this review, the newest BIOS for the 2865 mainboard is v3.04. You will need a Win98 (or equivalent) boot disk. Rather than go through the aggravation of installing a slimline floppy drive for a...

This most recent purchase will be our fifth and sixth 1U Tyan barebones kit, and so far we are completely satisfied with them. They are well laid out, put together well, and made from quality components. There are a lot of nice touches in a Tyan...

Having the rails included with the kit is extremely convenient, but they are a bit on the flimsy side. Be careful when installing the screws-they are very soft and the heads will shear easily. Also, the 2865 mainboard lacks a PCI-X slot, which...

Great server but not compatible with everything

This is a good quality 1U barebone server. The supported RAM is really cheap because it is non ECC, but it's non-ECC so this may not be the server for some higher-end / enterprise applications. Also, had some major issues with the Intel i3000 Ethernet...

Good price, quiet, good specs, and an overall nice server. Uses non-ECC RAM which is much cheaper than ECC RAM. Can use lower cost Intel 775 Processors. Comes with rails which is great.

Not compatible with some popular RAID cards. Had some major issues with the Intel i3000 Ethernet card / drivers. Doesn't support ECC Ram (Both a plus and a minus).

Excellent Server Barebone

These systems are great. I have had two running for over a year with Athlon X2 CPUs. While the 939 platform and DDR I RAM are outdated I would not hesitate to run a newer, AM2-based, Tyan system. I have not had a single stability problem and have run...

Solid construction

Individual activity LEDs do not work for the SATA drives. No big deal... only negative thing I can think of

Loud

Yes, it might upset some of you, I said loud, and I have a 1U supermicro P4 4-SATA hotswap server I was upgrading from (as this was inexpensive) but even in my basement, in a server cabinet, you can hear this box screaming upstairs to the point it...

AMD Desktop proc, low cost, 4 SATA hot-swap HDDs, cheap nas/linux/windows server

LOUD, software raid

Excellent Server

Comes with PCI-E and PCI-X risers, but you can only use one at a time.

This server is great for just about everything you can throw at it. Up to 4 cores, 4 hard disks, excellent cooling and it's quiet for a 1U server. Also everything is setup perfectly out of the box. Slap your processor, memory and hard disks in and...

Software raid, no hardware raid builtin available.

Great barebones server!

I bought this for a Windows Home Server installation and everything seems to be working great!

Mostly all inclusive barebones system (needs CPU, memory, HD's). Has 4 SATA hot swap drive sleds. SATA cables included and already attached to backplane. Even comes with rails! Bios, manufacturing, even packaging, etc seem very solid

Some might consider the fans "noisy" but I don't care because I'm placing it in a server room... I feel it's supposed to be noisy

Very good Barebones for the Price

And to the Person who says ECC doesn't work, you are very Wrong ECC works completly fine.
