P.S. William -- you're not going to believe this, but I wrote this and
was just about to send and just realized you posted it. I honestly
wrote it _before_ I noticed it was you.
P.P.S. Lay off the desktop chipsets -- seriously. I'll loan you an
Intel 72xx (or even a 75xx) series -- you'll see what I mean! ;->

FYI, NewEgg _does_ have a server mainboard category:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.newegg.com/ProductSort/SubCategory.asp?SubCategory=302">http://www.newegg.com/ProductSort/SubCategory.asp?SubCategory=302</a>
An Intel E7210 with two (2) PCI-X 66MHz slots starts at $180:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813128261">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813128261</a>
A ServerWorks HT1000 with one (1) PCI-X 133MHz slot starts at $235:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813182078">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813182078</a>
There are also various options with PCIe x4 and x8 slots (with or
without PCI-X) for storage (in case your storage is a PCIe x4 or x8
card) for both single Socket-478/LGA-775 as well as Socket-939.

Just tried that last link, sweet. NewEgg had the Foxconn S940 board for
$195.00 before they (Foxconn) tanked that board, too bad I waited ....<br>
