I have no plans to build this I just wanted to see some options
I was just searching on new egg and I came across this.

This is a server motherboard with 4 AMD optron slots. The motherboard alone cost 1,200 dollars.
Then you need the cpu to put into them

This is a dual core opteron running at 2.2ghz a great speed. (for an amd)
Though building a computer like this would set you back $3273.95 just for the cpu and motherboard You would get a pritty interesting.
When most people first see this they think holy **** this would be a great gaming computer. Well, Games do not use all the cores that you would like. Though if you where really talented and made something so that each core would do it's own thing like first one does windows second one does geomatry the third one does all the inputs the forth one does all the coding etc... Then maybe a useful thing but otherwise it is useless for gaming.
This would be great, but Their is no operating system or software that would take advantage of this computer. So it probably wouldn't proform much better then a amd athlon 63 fx-55. In fact the Athlon 64 fx would probably out proform this.
EDIT: I did some reading before about AMD and Intel releaseing Quad core processors. This is crazy with that you could have a 16 core computer if they still use the same socket.

Sure they can be used as desktops, but that is a waste of money because they are built to be servers and are therefore more reliable, higher quality, more specialized, and cost signifigantly more than normal boards. Just wondering-- have you ever seen a server? I can't imagine myself having a rackmount casing for a server on my desktop next to my LCD
