I highly recommend the new ULI/ATI Motherboard like Sapphire A9RX480.
If you go NF4 then:
DFI LAN PARTY NF4 Ultra-D
if you want SLI then:
Jetway 939GT4-SLI-G
DFI nf4 SLI-DR

But recommend falls down to Sapphire A9RX480. if you use USB Hard drive or some device that require full potential of USB 2.0 then just buy a $5 USB pci card with that motherboard. The disk controller on A9RX480 is pretty awesome and this motheboard is a beasty overclocker.

I don't think any of those boards have PCI-X slots though...?

I doubt you will find any motherobard with PCI-X that fills the other requirements. X2 literally excludes you from server motherboards right off the bat. You will need to go with a Nforce Professional workstation chipset and a Dual Core Opteron, not X2. SATA II is also a hard thing to find on workstation boards... you might want to stick with SATA II on PCI-X adapters.

Dual CPU ( OPTERON ) NF4 PRO w. SATA II AND PCI-E 16X

I'd go with the K8SE over this one, but both should work. The first one is more of a server board meant for rack mounted cases. The K8WE would also work, but you said you didn't need 2 16x PCIe slots which it has and it is a bit more money then the K8SE. Someone is selling a K8SE in the forsale forums for 360...
