I want to use older server hardware to build a rig because I need at least 128gb or ram and it's cheaper than enthusiast grade options. I have a couple questions. I attached a picture of the X9DRI-LN4F+ motherboard and you can see that there are no snaps to snap the GPU in. Will I still be able to mount the motherboard vertically with GPU's installed in an E-ATX case, like this one ? There looks like there is a 24 pin and two six pin connectors. Can those be hooked into a standard enthusiast grade power supply with sufficient wattage? How do I know what CPU coolers I can use? I have seen with motherboard in a server with 128gb of ram for about $1,000 USD with dual E5 2670's on Ebay. Is this benchmark referring to the same version of that chip, I am confused by v2 and v3 etc. And is it for one or both CPU's?
