This fine system system goes by the name "Icebox" and it one of those unique systems in that it wasn't planned.  Well, I guess in a way it was planned, but the plans got accelerated thanks to a client who no longer needed the motherboard in question. The remainder of the system is your typical build centered around my all time favorite brand AMD.  It may be around five years old now, but it still manages to survive the heavy graphics load trust on it.  The later upgrade to the Opteron 185 is the likely reason it still runs so well despite the beta bios, but it's still a great box!
