Hi,
I was just curious if there was such an animal. Which company? Which Xeon cpu's and socket? What chipset? What case form factor, ie, (ATX, and so on?) Any information is appreciated.

To get a 4 socket motherboard you HAVE to use windows server OS or Linux. Windows 7 or 8 or 10 will support dual socket but not quad. That OS limitation makes a quad socket gaming machine impractical. Having to use an E5-4xxx CPU or an E7-xxxx CPU makes it cost prohibitive. If you have an extra $40K to $50K then Dell, HP, SGI, or IBM would be happy to sell you a quad socket server.
