Did you buy a K-cpu? Those does not have VT-d.

I bought 2 Xeon 5460's.  After more research it seems that I cannot do a VM.  So rather, I will use this setup as my testing of using Unraid for the first time, NAS backups and running an internal file server for my home.

Unfortunstely those sre so old that they don't support vt-d. You'll have to jump on the 5500 series before vt-d becomes an option. 

Yes and I wanted to do this on the cheap before I did it on a larger scale.  Any recommendations on what to do with this server I will be building?

Not sure if you bought this machine but I would sell it and chip some out for a 5500/5600 series setup or 1st gen e3. They are not that expensive

I spent about $200 bucks for everything.  Board, ram, coolers, processor, towers and hard drives.  Bought separate online and local.  Ideally I will be running dual 3960x's 64GB ram, dual 980 TI's (reference) with a NAS backup.  But that's later.
