EVGA Readies Dual-LGA2011 X79 Motherboard
At this year's Computex event, we were treated to socket LGA2011 motherboards by various motherboard manufacturers, except EVGA. The company makes some of the highest grade enthusiast motherboards in the Intel platform, and so it was missed. It is however, said to be working on a monstrous dual-socket LGA2011 motherboard based on the Intel X79 chipset, that would replace its dual-socket LGA1366 EVGA SR-2.
Just imagine, such a monstrosity would combine two six/eight/twelve-core LGA2011 Sandy Bridge-E processors with eight channels of DDR3 memory, and four PCI-Express 3.0 x16 (electrical x16) links to drive its graphics cards and connectivity. EVGA said that it will have single-socket LGA2011 motherboards by the time the platform launches, and this dual-LGA2011 about a month later.

thats what I do, I get prices of 230 £ per server -nics though, I find myself a dual intel nic and a 3rd nic depending on what it'll do :)
2x 5.6ghz clocked 2011 CPU's
32GB Ram 8x4 2133mhz
3x 6990's or 4x GTX 580's Watercooled and OC'd
3x 2560x1600 monitors
1x Power Plant
I can dream.
:(
You could however have FOUR (4x) 6970's, but why would you do decellarate your experience like that.
You could say you'd go for a F@H rig, but then the 3x6990's argument wouldn't hold water...

When Abit was bought out and then died they had one of the best engineering teams, for mobos at least, but those guys didn't wanna stick with Abit's new owners, so they went to DFI, you see some of the nice DFI X58 boards you saw becuase of these guys, but when DFI went then EVGA took them in, but EVGA being an American based company, and one that sells more VGAs than Mobos, even though the classified and SR2 were sick they sold more VGAs so their VGA teams got the bonus in TW, which means a lot, those engineers were actually quite angry from what i heard and they moved on again, supposedly saphire took them in, they took shamino in, but they didn't put anything nice out other than a late X58 board and a P67 boartd, but nothing special like before, so it seems like those great days of shamino teaching us how to use one of the best boards ever has come to an end. One thing you will see from these guys is that they love volterra PWM and VRm design.
Right now Shamino is at ASUS, Tin got hired at EVGA, I think Kingpin Quite EVGA. Anyways engineering might or might not be what the guys listed do best, for Tin and Shamino it is b/c they are EEs, but their ability to influence features for overclocking is what we need them for, and shamino did for the classified and that is what we are seeing with the SR2.
I doubt we will see it from EVGA tho, maybe ASUS. Who knows with Tin at EVGA hopefully we will see some amazing stuff.
That is just my thought.
