I would probably go for a SuperWorkstation (www.supermicro.com), like this one for example: http://www.supermicro.nl/products/system/4U/7046/SYS-7046A-6.cfm It's more expensive, for sure, than a combo of Athena case / MSI board, but it surely rocks. As a cheaper alternative, you might want to consider buying a SuperMicro (or Tyan) motherboard to put into your Athena case. patpro
