Ok so i picked up one of the Geeks.com Dual xeon Gt20 1u rackmounts for 69.99 new.

I have a single xeon 604 3.06 533 cpu sitting here already (pulled from faulty system given to me (cpu is fine)
*the questions*
Will I even be able to use the cpu I have laying around?
If not where Can I pickup a a couple for a reasonable price, system pulls would be great.
I'm also looking for a good cheap place for some ecc ram.
I hate ebay though so preferably not there.
I'm toying around with throwing open solaris or esxi
yes it was an impulse buy... but hey what good is it being a nerd without toys?
