I'm in the process of building another server and i picked up a Intel dual xeon mobo for "cheap". After doing some recearch on colocation for my new box in Ashburn, VA I relized it'd be easier/cheaper to use a rackmount case instead of a huge full tower(one time fee of 250 instead of an additional 50 dollar fee for each month that the machine was at the data center, If you have anysort of common sense you'll relize it would be cheaper to spend the extra money in the begining instead of selling your soul in peices).
Mobo
