    Hi guys

    Have you seen this BEAST of a motherboard:

    Intel D5400XS "Skulltrail" Intel 5400 eATX (Socket 771)

    Supports two 45nm Extreme processors in an LGA771 socket with a 1600 MHz system bus.

    The mobo it's self costs over £400, plus the two CPU chips you have to buy lets say the QX9650 which is a grand total of £1800 lol madness. You would need a pretty powerful power supply considering it also it supports both SLi and Crossfire (not at the same time lol), so you would need a monster of PSU for this rig.

    Here is the spec:

    - Extended ATX (eATX) (12.00 inches by 13 inches [304.80 millimeters by 330.2 millimeters])
    - Support for 45nm Intel® Core™2 Extreme processors in an LGA771 socket with a 1600 MHz system bus
    - Support for both 45nm & 65nm Intel® Xeon® processors in an LGA771 socket with a 1600, 1333, or 1066 MHz system bus
    - Four Fully Buffered DIMM (FBDIMM) DDR2 Module sockets Support for FBDIMM DDR2 800MHz, 667 MHz, DIMMs
    - Support for ECC and non-ECC memory
    - Intel® 5400 Express Chipset
    - Intel® High Definition Audio 8-channel (7.1) Dolby Home Theater
    - Nvidia SLI* and ATI CrossFire* multi-GPU platform support Nvidia SLI and ATI CrossFire technology enables two graphics cards to work together for ultimate 3D gaming performance and visual quality
    - Gigabit (10/100/1000 Mbits/sec) LAN subsystem
    - 10 USB 2.0 ports (6 external ports, 2 internal headers)
    - Six Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s ports, including 2 eSATA port with RAID support supplied by a Marvell* controller
    - Two IEEE-1394a ports (1 external port, 1 internal header)
    - One Parallel ATA IDE interface with UDMA 33, ATA-66/100 support (2 devices supported)
    - Four primary PCI Express* 1.1 x16 (electrical x16) bus add-in card connector
