Does anyone know if they make such a thing. My computer only has 24 GB DDR3, a i7 cpu, 2 2GB video cards and a 4 channel raid controller with 128 MB battery back cache and 4 137GB drives in raid 5. So its kind of slow.

This is a joke but I'm too much of a nerd not to answer.

They make Dual Xeon ATX server boards, and Micro-ATX server boards, but I haven't seen the two combined.

BTW not RAIDing SSDs FTL.

Core i7? That's your problem, you're going with a crappy low-end desktop CPU instead of a Nehalem-based Xeon with double the number of cores. You wouldn't need that second socket with a Westmere or Beckton processor.
