Custom Motherboards?

Druegan asks: "I've been rooting around on the net lately checking out all the latest and greatest in new PC parts, plotting out the design for my next build. I'm finding lots of neat stuff, but I can never seem to find a main board that has just the right combination of features. Therefore, I want to Ask Slashdot: Is there any way your esteemed readership knows as to how a person might get a main board custom made?"

"I don't know how practical this is, BUT I'm looking for a mainboard that supports a dual processor configuration for the AMD64 FX 55 processor, built around the nVidia nForce 4 chipset. I'd like two full x16 PCI-express slots with support for the nVidia SLI, as well as room for at least 2gb of dual channel DDR, and SATA Raid support. I also am looking to be able to overclock the bejeesus out of the whole mess.

This is only a test case, but there currently is no such mainboard available. I'd like to know if there is some way to get one custom built though, even if it is ridiculously expensive.. (yes, this might fall into the 'more-money-than-brains' dept.)

I'd just like to build the system to see how it'd work."

Cool.

Enjoy your new, non-realistic, motherboard.

I'm your man.

Go ahead and pay me $10,000 to my PayPal account and I'll get started right away. It'll be in the mail real soon! I can even through in a nucular mobo battery and wire it with a turbo button.

Buy some stock.

The only way I could see this happening is if you bought a controlling interest of a MB manufacturer stock. Think of it as an investment.

What's the production run?-Realty-Check.

Now maybe people will realize what software people have to put up with.

You're an electronic engineer? Wow, all this time I've been using the old-fashioned biological kind.

you're a retard. custom motherboards..? what do you want next? a girlfriend?

"Not even double sided boards would work"

You just made my day! That's one of the funniest examples of "n00b miscalculation of complexity" I've seen in a while.

easy answer

[jenkin sear]

The easy answer- just buy ABIT. Not the board. The company.

Dear Slashdot

Dear Slashdot,

I'm looking for a videogame system that will play every game that's ever been made out there. I don't care how much it costs. I want it to be able to play every imaginable format, all through a single universal slot. Oh, and it can take any sort of controller ever made too. And while you're at it, make sure it can play every type of audio and video format (I'm planning on using it for my 1337 home theater setup). And don't forget to make sure that it'll be able to play everything that comes out in the future, too. I realize I may be asking a bit much, but I'm pretty sure it's doable...

>Dude, what you're asking for is the single most ridiculous thing I've ever heard on /.

I'd like an Amiga laptop computer. Now that I just made this guy look totally sane, go get to work and build his totally sane motherboard for him... :)

Seeing as how this guy has a degree in religion, the answer is totally obvious. If he simply prays hard enough, God will give it to him.

While we're at it...

[perfectlynormalbeast]

... I could use a custom CPU. Since I'm left-handed, I'd like something like an athlon64, but the leftshift instruction should shift right and the rightshift instruction should shift left. I'd be willing to pay an extra $50 for that!

Re:Really hard...

[Anonymous Coward]

Wow. You mean you can't just buy a resist pen and blank copper-clad at Radio Shack and do your own motherboard? Who would have guessed! I guess you could go reeelly high-tech and wire-wrap it. Just need to pind a CPU thats in a DIP package.

Sorry kids. This is only funny if you're over 30. Just humor me.

Re:Three easy steps

[PhraudulentOne]

You messed that up...

Step 1: Pay major mobo mfg about $1,000,000

Step 2: Wait a long time for it to be built

Step 3: Debt!

Re:Doy

Indeed. In fact, he's not even concerned about the SLOWEST component of the entire system: the hard drive! Get a custom-built 20,000 RPM hard drive and the entire system moves faster. Get that 2GB of memory cached on board the CPU chip die and the system moves faster. He just wants to throw money at a poor solution to his computing "needs" to compensate for his less than l337 computer hacking skills. He should just resort to having num-chuck skills and be happy.
