Advice on Dual Xeon 2670 build - Anyone done this? Recommended?

[Benevolence]

Looking at a combo-deal for $600 from Natex
MoBo: Intel S2600CP2J
CPU: 2x SR0KX E5-2670
RAM: 8x8
Also WHAT F*ing CASE DOES THIS THING FIT INTO??? Format is SSI-EEB is hard to find a case for, would an E-ATX case work?

Looking for alternatives at around the same price point which would also support 8 hard drives, 2 video cards and be able to crank out double-precision renders.

Anyone have experience with these server motherboards?
Would the new AMD chipsets have comparable performance? Trying to get the best rendering/gaming performance possible for under $600 (GPU excluded, already have an 850W PSU as well).

#1 watch your language.

#2 My advice? Don't buy it. You'll need to look to a company like Supermicro for a case its not cheap.

Gaming wise this thing will be horrendous, low clock speeds and single core speeds. This type of system was not made for use as a gaming PC.

Don't buy it.
