The generic x79 2011 socket motherboards have been on ebay for a while now and today I have just seen several dual cpu motherboards listed.
They are cheap, ~ $149.00-$169.00 cheap.
Cheap enough that if you have some cpu's and ram laying around would make for a decent test server.
They are kind of an unknown but they are cheap.
Plus I hate buying used motherboards and these are at comparable prices to used.
The earlier X79 boards seem to be solid and without a lot of issues for a great value.

The 1356 board comes with two 1 u heatsinks.
