Thanks for the advice -- though I wasn't really able to find anything that I liked for what I thought was a reasonable cost. I ended up going more towards the original list -- I found that IPMI has no mechanism to read the temperatures of the cards and spin the fans up/down. I ended up setting...

Trying to get a little more specific in hopes of garnering some feedback, what about something like this? Motherboard: Supermicro X10SRA-F-O CPU: E5-2620 v3 Case: Something along the lines of Rosewill RSV-L4000 The biggest question for me is still if the motherboard can get the temp of the K20...

Greetings, I'm looking for a little help on putting together a server to host two Tesla K20 compute cards I recently obtained. I'm looking for case/motherboard/CPU suggestions. Cost is a priority, parts that can be found used/ebay are a big plus. What I had in mind: 4U case -- in my basement...
