Yes I've also looked into that getting 4 x 6172 from USA via bay. Motherboards are hard to find though and steep
Also struggling to find a suitable case for mobo to go in. Then there is the issue of what o/s to use for a 48-core monster. (or 64-core if you get the newer 16-core Opterons)

(A) Windows 7 64 bit Pro or better or Server 2008 R2
(B) Linux you fool

Think that was when he had two rigs.. I believe he sold the x79 rig...

Either way if you go the opteron route you just need to use Ubuntu, I prefer server as I don't need the GUI but you can use the desktop version. 12.10 is fine. Also there are a few of us here running them who can help or there is a great thread on the [H]ardocp forum with loads of info. Beware with the 62xx or 63xx chips as you need the more expensive GL Supermicro boards which have more heavy duty power handling capabilities.
