Hardcore electronics engineer build

[NetWorker]

Budget (including currency): Not specified

Country: Bulgaria, EU

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Altium Designer (ECAD), Programming, MCAD, AI applications, Minecraft

 

 

Me, a server grade electronics enthusiast, finally came across the perfect motherboard for a worksation PC. I wil be building it in a custom case

but for now i am searching for suitbal parts. Here is what are the components and specifications:

 

Motherboard: Intel S2600JF (non negotiable)

Lsearching for the bridge board + suitable backplane or cables

CPU: 2x Intel Xeon E5-2697 v2 (total 24 cores 48 threads)

RAM: 8x 16GB 1600MT/s ECC

GPU: Zotac LP 3050 6GB

Boot drives: 2x 1TB SATA SSDs (the sad thing the MB does not support NVME)

Storage Drives: 2x 2TB SATA SSDs 2.5" (have an additional 10TB NAS)

Expansion: PCIe Dual/Quad RS232 card

                    L Mustang-T100-T5 (AI accelarator)

PSU: Searchong for compact redundant power supply to fit in the 1000/1200W range (If it is not redundant i will make it redundant)

 

I need help finding the right place to purchace the motherboard, cpus, bridge board and find the right power supply/supplies.

Perhaps you already know this, but if you don't have these parts already on-hand or easily available (e.g. from a nearby recycler or something) then this is a phenomenally bad price-to-performance ratio. These things aren't manufactured anymore and they're so old that any modern platform will blow them out of the water.

The build is purly a fun unique project to work on. I am sourcing the motherboard from amazon, but have some trouble finding a PSU and the correct bridge board.
