I am building a computer with 2 x Xeon W5580 and need help picking out a motherboard,case and cpu fan that don't require me to mod them to make it fit.

Motherboard choice:

The easiest and trouble free setup would be SuperWorkstation 7036A-T:

Dual W5580 with 12GB (6 x W1333EB2GQ) is the top performer. For my ray-tracing app I got 2.1 speedup vs. old WS (dual X53650).

By the way CPU Heatsinks SNK-P0035AP4 are included. The only hardware you need to add are: CPU, memory and adding your SATA hard disks into Hot-swap Drive tray.
