Here’s what you simply must put in your next desktop: the new EVGA W555 motherboard with dual-Xeon chipsets, a dozen DDR3-ready memory slots, and an impressive 7 PCIe slots.
As you can see, the W555 isn’t exactly small. As we haven’t had a chance to play with a board yet, the exact dimensions are unknown, but EVGA has confirmed that it is larger than either the E-ATX or SSI standards. Then again, any motherboard with two LGA1366 processor sockets, 12 DDR3 DIMM slots and seven expansion card slots isn’t ever going to be small.
Such a rig begs even more amazing questions:
- Who makes a power supply capable of running a monster like this fully loaded with high-end video cards? W
- Who makes fans capable of cooling it?
- Who makes the necessary floor bolts to keep it from flying away, or shaking itself to pieces?
