Blade Motherboard?

[TheJeff]

Hi, I am looking into purchasing a blade motherboard for a steal of a price and wanting to know if It has to be used inside of a blade chasis, or could I just rig a case or something?

 

motherboard: http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/QPI/5500/X8DTT-F.cfm

 

also how would I connect it to a power supply? it has two 24-pin connectors?

 

 

 

 

Thanks

why do you plan on using this particular motherboard. you wont be able to stick it in a regular case as its an irregular motherboard size also pretty sure you need a server psu. unless you have a server rack i would advise against using this motherboard also you wont be able to put an gpu in this as there are no pci e slots

there is one pciex16 slot, but this is going to be used as a server and not a gaming rig.

My main concerns are with the power supply connections
