I have socket 1567 cpu's. It is very hard to find motherboards that won't cost an arm and a leg that is socket LGA1567. I see some M910 and R810 motherboards out there for sale that I can afford. I've talked with a Dell Support Engineer who said that some motherboards will not work unless you have the blade/server chassis. I want to be able to buy a motherboard, a power supply, RAM, etc, and all the other components and put together a white box server myself using these LGA1567 cpu's but not have to spend close to $800 and over on a SuperMicro or equivalent socket 1657 motherboard. What PowerEdge model motherboard can I buy with the matching Dell power supply but without the chassis that I can build a white box server with? I understand this is not supported but I would greatly appreciate your help, input, or comments. Thank you! :)
