Question LGA 1567 Motherboard?

[Deihman]

I recently bought two E7-2850s from someone on Reddit, but I don’t have a motherboard for them. I think I got a really good deal, $10 for both of them, so I was thinking of finding a cheapish board (below $150) for them, preferably something that doesn’t need a proprietary PSU. I don’t care about form factor and I’ll probably be running it outside a chassis, so no need to worry about that.

Anyways, I was wondering if you guys know of any decent boards I could find for cheap that I could plug these CPUs into. I want to use it to learn how to do virtualization in Linux, so I can easily set up my own mail/NAS/DNS server when I move out from my parents’ basement.

Ebay at this point. Whatever you buy is likely to come with CPUs as well. Best to get a whole chassis too. Power supplies and the like are usually proprietary with this level of hardware.

Picked up a HP DL380 gen8 server off ebay pretty cheap from save my server. HP DL380e G8, dual cpu, 48gb ram for $350. Swapped out CPUs for better ones and installed 2 SSD in raid 1 with 8x3tb drives for storage in raid 6. Makes a mean little backup server.
