Further note. The only major irritation I had in putting this system together was when I discovered that the board was EATX. I have 4 ATX cases and it wouldn't fit in any of them. Also the power supply MUST be EPS12V which has 2 connectors for the mobo: 24pin and an 8 pin. This was irritating because case descriptions rarely say if they're eatx compatible. I finally found a good one in the Antec 1080AMG. From the power supply standpoint, I used the Sparkle 550W. And lastly, I bought 2 Volcano 7+'s for my heat sink+fan needs, and they have kept my Xeons very cool. Pete
