Thread Starter 
Hadn't seen nor heard of this Asus Mobo till Nyako flashed it as her new build. Went and checked it out and decided it was my dream board so I've gone and dumped all my plans for the also ran and sold off the equipment I had purchased already and am ordering 2 AMD Athlon 64 FX 74, Asus L1N64-SLI WS, 2 Asus EN8800GT/G/HTDP/512M, Antec 900, Antec True Power Quattro 1000, GEIL DDR2 Esoteria Revision2 4GB DDR2-800 Dual Channel Kit and that's as far as I've gotten for the hardware ordered.

Anyone have any suggestions due to the fact that it's all back ordered I can change it if anyone thinks there might be a better way to go about it...

Will not fit in the antec 900, reread the size of the MOBO Rock it is larger then a normal ATX board. Also you are going to need a strong PSU 1100 min.

Oh and that is my dream build certain people just have the ability to make it faster then me.

I know, I was just saying especially after you mentioning it wouldn't even fit, maybe he'd want to know with phenom around the corner, he could eliminate some heat and weight on the mobo by waiting out not too long

Either way, the build will kick ass

Also this

Yeah maybe but I'm gonna see how well this works and take my queues from there if I can I'll probably talk myself into dumping more at another system later and passing this one on if the system is that much better...

I did ask for additional suggestions so I'm not going to get my feelings hurt if someone tosses a sh!t grenade of suggestions.

Oh and phenom isn't out yet and it still works on the 1207 socket so they can dump them onto that mother board anyways.

I love my TT Armor case, although it's far from convenient in many placement options

Back when I was going to do a dual-Xeon build with a full ATX mobo, I was looking at buying this case. Since the mobo we're getting may need a full ATX case, I'm looking at it again.....

Really, wonder why you would switch to AMD?

I've always been wondering: why a server setup? Are you planning on building up a server? Just curious.

It's not a server setup. It's a gaming monster setup. We're using SLI and AMD's server-grade processors, which score much higher than the Xeon quad processors when it comes to gaming.

Servers = 2-4 processors, usually Intel, ridiculous gigage of memory, ridiculous terrabytage of storage in RAID, minimal graphics power, 64-bit server OS

Gaming monster = many cores -- 2 processors = win, 2-4 GB memory, RAID: take it or leave it, SLI, 32-bit OS
