The best board fitting a normal case is the Tomcat HX S8030, it has a version with two 10gbit ports and one cheaper with just gigabit ports. It has five PCIe 4.0 x16 slots plus 2 NVMe M.2 22110/2280 plus two SlimSAS connectors for altogether four more NVMe. It's got a lot of bandwidth for a normal ATX board. Hard to get -- Avadirect has it but they do not ship to Canada. https://www.avadirect.com/Tomcat-HX-S80 ... t/13225593

You people...just because you're not in that market....

It's almost like you're making fun of people looking for houses, when you're happy with your condo.

My mistake for expecting sensible RFD audience.

Edit: i.e. Can you even remotely fathom how silly you've made yourself look?

Don't listen to them OP. This is a smoking hot deal. This baby can handle 3 VESA Local Bus cards at the same time. The power is unimaginable.

Guys, guys, just because you are in the market for a family car it doesn't mean a more than 10% deal off a Ford F-350 is something to laugh at. Thank the OP rather.

Yes, you can buy two of them and place them onto the same motherboard in one system.

Don't take this as a thinly veiled insult, but as a fellow geek I'm genuinely curious who on RFD is buying this and for what. I expect most business users would be buying pre-built servers, and what kind of individuals are DIYing something this powerful?

I have an office with 5 designers using software like:
CAD ,SKETCH-UP, PHOTOSHOP, ILLUSTRATOR,INDESIGN,3D MAX

Would it be better to build 5 pcs, or do some sort of centralized solution. Keep in mind there's a server room for two 16 Bay SAS for back up. If anyone can help please or even suggest best option thanks in advance.
