Weird motherboards

[ToneBone]

So I was looking for some pictures of motherboards for a school project and I came across one of the weirdest boards I've seen (link below). It's a Dell server board I believe with four sockets, all with quad channel memory. This led me to post it here and hopefully Linus would see it and try and source one for a video but that probably won't happen so I ask you guys, what are some of the weirdest motherboards or parts in general that you have seen. Provide links if you can.

that's nothing special. Quad socket boards have been around for a while. I used to main an ML350 G6 dual socket for my workstation before I upgraded to X79.

 

The weirdest boards you'll find will usually be server boards.

 

There's AsRock IMB-87, which is an ITX board that uses laptop DIMMs and a laptop CPU (Haswell) but can run a desktop GPU.

 

There's also shuttle form factor, which Dell still uses in some SFF machines.

look what i bought on Amazon, it is actually not that bad....i was looking for a cheap x99 motherboard ´couse i broke accidentally my x99 Asus Deluxe and had the Cpu, and i found this in china , for my surprise i saw Linus video about the motherboard that he bought , the x79, and this one was not so different, except that in stead of an x99 chipset it had an C612 Server Chipset and the Bios was from August of this year
