Pin configuration for Blade Server LGA1366 socket?
Pin configuration for Blade Server LGA1366 socket?
Does anybody have any experience with rigging these (hopefully of the LGA1366 generation) to where they can operate independently of the chassis? Or a pinout for the proprietary connectors that mate the two? A bit of a stretch, I know, but I like projects. :-) TIA >>>BULLET>>>

Full-fledged dual Xeon servers that cost little to buy, little to ship, and I have spare CPUs and RAM on-hand to get up and running? Sign me up! Well, one little problem... They are of course designed to plug into a proprietary chassis that provides power, connectivity, etc, etc. And while the blades are cheap, those housings are very much not.
