Cheap Xeon parts choosing

I need help finding a motherboard that fits a 2 Intel® Xeon® Processor X5560 that has at least 2 PCIe slots and at least 4 RAM slots, with the RAM being at least 2 GB per stick while being cheap. That can also fit off-the-shelf cases.

If you want to spend $300 on a motherboard that supports dual sockets, be my guest.

 

You're best off buying a used server and use the motherboard that is included. The form factor is pretty weird but it is a server.

hi.

slightly more expensive but does the trick. just bought one myself.

(the x8dt6-f version actually, that one has raid).

 

I should also mention that this is EATX, but the larger server variant - a case on the larger side such as the Phanteks Enthoo Pro is recommended.
