I have 2 2.4 Xeon's in that mobo, I love it. ONly problem is no 66Mhz PCI slot but it does OC nicely. I would also go for the 550W Xeon fortron PSU over the Antec.AudiMan said:
It won't be that expensive. It's a lot cheaper than buying two complete 2.4C systems.
1 monitor, 1 hard drive, 1 video card, 1 PSU, already have the RAM, etc etc.
I'll just take the best parts from my AMD systems, so all I'll need is a PSU, 2 CPU's and a mobo (maybe two waterblocks depending on how much OC potential they will have)
EDIT:
(Newegg prices)
Antec 550Watt = $120
2 Xeon 2.66's = $276 X 2 = $552
Asus PC-DL Deluxe = $209
That comes out to $881
If I decide to go with a higher end mobo, it'll run me about $1000.
True, but Intels seem to OC quite nicely with NO vcore increase. This box is a server box I just built for a client. I had it running at 2970 Mhz (18 x 165). I think 165 FSB is the highest I will go, these are 2.4 533 FSB CPU's. Specs:AudiMan said:What are you overclocked to? Unfortunately there are no VCore adjustments.
Post some specs of that system if you could, thanks.

Iwill DH800 is supposed to be the board to watch for - Google will turn up some pics of samples (i875 chipset).
