So Dave, did you leave a spare key under your doormat perhaps?It's only an hour and a half drive (or so) for me... then I'll be the second and only person with a W555 board in the USA!

How to explain so you guys understand..
I found out Wednesday that the board was coming.
After I'd picked myself up off the floor, changed my pants, cleaned the drool off the keyboard and wiped the spittle off of the monitor I started to think on what I'd need to get it built.
I have the cpu's,coolers and EVGA 2-260GTX video cards and I'm hoping I can get it to fit in one of my big SM cube cases.
Then I realised that this needs one big mutha of a PSU and to put my piddly 6x1 gig of Kingston DDR3-1333 ECC REG in there just wouldn't be right and not sure if those would even work. Then add that I just had one of those die on me and in RMA and not here till next Friday.
Add in to all of this that on Thursday New Hampshire got hit with the worst storm I'd ever seen, 14" of rain in 12 hours, 70-80MPH winds, and electrical power out to 300,000 in the state.
I do have a small 5500w generator so I was covered .
I made some calls to try and get some help with the memory and PSU issues but that was late Friday and at the end of the workday.
So bear with me ok and remember, I'm just a guy with limited resources like most of you but this will come together.
That I promise you.
I'd also like to thank all of you for the good thoughts and support.
That means a lot to me.

Yea, but that screen is 16x16 or 256 threads or 128 cores with HT on.
16 dual socket W5580's in a cluster would give you that screen

I was so excited... then i saw the second line of threads.
it can run crysis.
Fixed

I may sig that..
Nope, a 1200w..Should handle all my needs perfectly.Fixed

W00t Dave.. you mean old bastard
Just after I go off Skiing for the weekend, you sneak up on us with this baby
It really is 'Teh Sex' as someone else said so fittingly.. I can't wait to get my hands on one of those beastly motherboards
Oh and, no, you DON'T need a 1,x KW PSU
With those two 260's something in the 800W range is more than enough. I'd get a Corsair HX850 if I were you...
Me, I'm gonna run it on a 430 or 500W Seasonic with lots of adapters, as always

The heart of a system and honestly there are only two brands I trust.
Corsair and PCP+C..
I'm not saying all the others are junk as surely there are some good ones out there that I'm not familar with but these two brands I know to be good ones.
I have both here in my systems and neither has ever failed me.
Then think of my situation.
You've got an essentially irreplaceable board, a pair of chips worth over $3000.00, couple nice vid cards, 4 SAS drives and you want to trust it all to a PSU you have faith in.

Damn right you need more memory!I can't yet, need to get a 1200w PSU and those suckers ain't cheap.
Also need more memory and that ain't cheap either..
Working on both issues.
I have all the rest and the best cpu's that money can't buy for this!
Main Machine:
AMD FX8350 @ stock --- 16 GB DDR3 @ 1333 MHz --- Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0 --- 2.0 TB Seagate

Don't you worry! One of the things I have planned is to put all of your benchmarks that can be done in 12 gig so far off the chart that your Japanese friend will stand up and take a sledgehammer to his PC!Damn right you need more memory!

Any price range on this and the cheapest cpus you can use and price on board? Just wonder if I should just ignore it ^^

Xeon E5502 should work, at least from what I have read, and that goes for less than $200 retail. But I think you would want to use something faster, and with more cores.
All rumors, but the board will probably be around $500 or so. Cpu's will most likely be priced around where the current Nehalem based Xeon's are with the ones worth getting ranging from $400 to $2000 per CPU.
One thing that might be kinda neat on this, is the ability to stick processors that only support 1066 memory speeds and then overclock them up to higher speeds.
Personally right now I'm aiming for a pair of X5650's which will probably be the least expensive 6 core processors released, and probably come in at the same price point at the X5550's of $1k per CPU.
