I know most people will be wanting to buy a hex to clock the balls off it but I thought I would throw this out there as motherboards are seriously hard to get hold of now.
Means running stock but 6 cores are 6 cores right
Anyway, on a well known auction site there is a seller with seemingly millions of supermicro 1366 server/workstation boards for relatively cheap.
Only problem is that they are designed for rack cases and as such the expansion slots are intended to be used with a riser.
That behind the 16x slot is a 8x slot.
Sadly it blocks the retaining lug on a pci-e slot
But its a bit of a blessing really as it reduces the boards value and presumably is the reason they are being flogged.
Quick buzz with a small drill bit later
All sorted!
Seem quite nice boards, no sound so will need PCI card (needs to be a modern 3.3v compatible one with 2 slots in it) and the onboard VGA is useless.
Might not be any interest but I thought it was a bit of fun as the xeon 1366 chips are peanuts.
