Hi guys,
here's the deal:

I got 4 banks of DDR400 ECC registered ram and a Fractal design CORE3300 Case (it seems it can accomodate Extended ATX motherboards).

I want to use them for a "new" PC, but I am not sure what to search for.
My latest build was a done around a Tyan S2895, with 2 Opteron 285 and 2 GTS 450 SLI, 8Gb DDR400 R ECC.
I was thinking to do something different, maybe with xeons, but I can' t find sexy Xeon boards... Most of them accomodate FBdimm ddr2.

Any advice?
