Motherboard Suggestions for Server

[NDGeist]

I'm looking for a suggestion for a high end/high reliability server to run out of my house,
I have the enclosure and hard drives, but the problem is, the MB is a Dual PPRo 200. it is "kindof" atx form factor.

I'm not doing a very good job explaining myself.... 🙂

I have a Dell Poweredge 6100/200 with 6x4.3GB SCA disks and a Intel raid card. I need a MB that will take dual ATX power connectors, yes, i realize that dell doesnt follow the ATX power connector and that i will need to reconfigure that, so any STD ATX board that will take Dual Power connectors will work. does anyone know of such board?

I hope this makes sense, it seems too early. 😀
Thanks
Chip🙂

I dont know if they have a dual ATX board, but Intel is my #1 choice for a solid non overclocker board

If that particular dell enclosure is not standard AT or ATX I doubt you will find a board that will fit without worries.
Most dual PS compatible MBs are rather large, usually extended ATX , take a look at supermicro, they have a few which support dual PS.

P.S. I'm a bit bewildered by Stealth 1024's post considering it has no bearing on your question;
why in god's name would a server need a soundcard, a high performance video card and LCD panels ? also Adaptec's RAID cards are dismal.

so its the highest powered gamebox in the world???

or is it the most "multimedia ready" server in the world...???

either way... i'll take like 5.. 🙂

Thanks for the laugh @ least...

it is an extended ATX form, but ATX should fit in it ok, the only problem is that Dells proprietary pinout on their power connectors is a bit funky, i have the pinout so i should be able to redo the ends. i checked, and a standard ATX board should fit fine.

If you are confident you can rewire/re-pin.. go for it 🙂
