They're not the best but they're still pretty good. Maybe you could use them in a 2P folding rig?

They're LGA 1366 so he'd need a SR-X or some kind of 2P server board like an ASUS, Supermicro, Tyan, etc.

Probably gonna end up selling them. After doing some thinking and pricing things out, I could really use the money and such a rig would be such overkill for my uses.
