Dead Motherboard Please Help - Thanks!

4 SCSI drives? Really? That makes life harder.
Well there are only 3 motherboards with SCSI ports built in

But if your xeon is an LGA 775 socket then you are going to need to replace the motherboard and get a SCSI controller card to support your HDDs. Are they serial attached SCSI?

Would it be easier for me to just buy a new 1TB Sata HDD?
If that would make it easier, I could just do that???

And sorry, but what do you mean by Serial Attached SCSI?
I'm sorry, I'm not too great with computers. More details would be helpful  

Thanks though!

Yes, a 1TB SATA HDD would make life much easier down the road, and will have a longer life remaining than your SCSI drives, how old are they? I personally have never seen a SCSI drive.

Holy crap, i just discovered that the last 3.06GHz Xeon that was made fit the 604 socket, there are no motherboards that are currently for sale new that will support your chip so it may be a good time to look into a new computer.

Yeah, well a friend gave it to me, saying it's mine if I fix it.
Well thanks so much anyway man, if anybody can tell me if I can find a Mobo on ebay that will support those, it would be great. Also it's 184 Pin RAM.

Yeah, guess I gotta build a new computer huh?
Thanks for all your guys help.

http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/TYAN-S2665-motherboard-with-2x-3...|66%3A2|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A0|293%3A1|294%3A50

search around on ebay and price comparison sites, im sure your be able to find the same mobo to replace.

btw how do you kno the motherboard ahs died?

Nah just that my friend sucks even more than me and probably did something stupid, or it was just old and shitty. Thanks for the link though.

The same seller has a cheaper one running to but I hafta highlight the fact that he states the cpu's are tested and workin yet the mobo is not -.- fishy but if your willing to take the risk. Really tho I would have to say you would more than be best off just starting a new it can get costly to get older hardware to play well and still fall behind current budget components. Depending on the purpose and possible spending I don't think just grabbin a 1 TB is best option. I'm sure many ppl would disagree but again its all situational, external enclosures are fairly cheap these days and offer mobility ^^

What I need is basically a server for home use.

Intel site says the CPU uses a PPGA604 socket.
