I'm in a situation where I just found out my big Dell SQL server is backordered, and I want to build a smaller server to bridge the time gap.

I'm thinking about a dual Opteron (or Xeon if I have to I guess), but finding parts for this kind of thing is proving difficult. I'm going to do RAID with SATA, so finding SCSI isn't a big issue.

Anyone have any ideas of places that might have a dual opteron board, processors, and a case/ps that'll handle it in stock in town? I'd REALLY like to get this up and running today. Memory Express only has one Opteron processor in stock and the motherboard they have is a bit old.

TIA
