I want a Dual LGA 1366 Gaming workstation especially i like it should be quiet & it should consist of Bluray Burner w/ Lightscribe.

Question 1 .... nothing in your list of "system Usages" (HD MOVIES,MUSIC & XTREME GAMING ; LOW:-WORK ) will benefit from the 2nd CPU, and system will in fact be penalized in performance for server overhead (i.e. large amounts of memory, ECC memory, limited OC ability, etc) , so gotta ask .... why you wanna go that way ?

Question 2 .... you want a 5970 but also want 3D Vision monitor which, at least to my understanding, was an nVidia only feature.

Once ya address those 3 issues, just for the fun of it, lets look at a single CPU solution which I certainly expect will be a faster gamer than any server based solution. ...and don't forget ... I am trying to spend a lotta money....I'm thinking wait till end of March for Intel's new CPU.s, the MoBos that go with them and Fermi options.....but let's look at stuff available now.

Case / PSU - Antec 1200 / CP-1000 ($300)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.336293

Note I really wanted to put the SG-1200 in here but despite being certified Gold by 90 plus.org back in July, it hasn't hit store shelves yet.

MoBo - ASUS P6T7 WS Supercomputer "Ultimate Gamer" ($399)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131390

My one problem w/ this MoBo is current model only supports only SATA II not SATA III....expect new Asus hexacore boards to drop in march.

CPU - Core i7-980 XE (release Date March 16, 2010) ($999)

Memory - Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 12GB CAS 7 (3 x 4GB) ($749)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226119

GFX Card - ASUS EAH5970/G/2DIS/2GD5 Radeon HD 5970 2GB ($680) add a 2nd in Xfire later on
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121357

PhysX card - ASUS ENGTS250/DI/512MD3 GeForce GTS 250 ($109)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121334

SSD's - Twin Intel X25-M Mainstream SSDSA2M160G2R5 2.5" 160GB SATA II MLC in RAID 0 ($1098)

HD's - Twin Seagate Barracuda XT ST32000641AS 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb in RAID 0 ($600)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148506

Sound - On Board

Blue Ray Burner - PLEXTOR Blu-ray Burner Model PX-B940SA SW
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827249057

Monitor - For HD, Movies and Photo work, accurate color IPS screen use Dell U2410's ($550 on special)
http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Monitors/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=320-8277
Get two more and use eyefinity

or

Monitor - Dell 3008 WFP ($1700 on special)
http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Monitors/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=223-4890

or

Monitor - Acer 24" 120 Hz 3D and wait for fermi (getting two GTX 295's and dropping the dedicated PhysX card is an option but why not wait to DX11 stuff drops in 5 weeks)
http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/nvidia-shows-its-3d-blu-ray-readiness-in-run-up-to-ces-acer-dem/

Speakers - Logitech Z-5500 505 Watts 5.1 Speakers ($392)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836121120

Keyboard - Logitech G19USB Wired Gaming Keyboard ($175)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823126053

Mouse - Logitech G9x Black Two modes scroll USB Wired Laser 5700 dpi Gaming Mouse ($72)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826104261

In short, despite the fun and drooling on the above component list, I think it's best to wait 5-6 weeks, see what drops from Intel, MoBo manufacturers and nVidia and in the meantime decide whether you really want a server box and decide between 3D Vision and PhysX versus what ATI offers.

Bro as you asked.
1) my brother told me to get a Dual CPU System for Gaming and also for his engineering studies & work of 3D,Photoshop,Editing.
2)i just want a 120hz Monitor,i just found that one.

It would be Better if you tell me a Dual CPU Gaming Build,i am a heavy multitasker & Burn lots of Dvds & Bluray.
i took up server option coz of high configuration & low power consumption

I DONT WANT TO OC (OVERCLOCK)
