I am running a home cluster based on the Supermicro X8DTE-F board and I love this board: Plenty of expansion slots, remote management IPMI, dual CPU, plenty of RAM slots to populate it on the cheap. A dual CPU, 64GB RAM combo can be put together on eBay for around $200, which I love the most.

The problem is that the Intel Xeon 5600 series of CPUs won't be supported past vmware 6.7 so I'm wondering what's next for my eBay builds.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a newer old board whose CPU supports the next generation of VMware that I can pick up on eBay for around $150 (board only)?
