I want to build a desktop computer with dual Xeon 5550 CPU's which would require a dual LGA1366 motherboard. Basically my aim is to build a gaming computer for the lowest price possible, and to me this is the most cost effective CPU. My friend has a gaming PC based on a single X5550 CPU which works well so I thought I'd build one based on dual CPU's.

However most dual LGA1366's motherboards I've come across are server motherboards. Would this cause problems? How would I go about using this for a desktop computer? Would I be able to use the motherboard of a Poweredge R410, for example?
