I have two Intel S5000PAL Socket 771 server boards with CPUs and RAM that I'm never going to do anything with. Both come with CPUs and RAM and were fully working when I tested them before putting them into dry storage last summer.
Board specs here: http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/s5000pal/sb/CS-022639.htm
Motherboard #1 - £40 + shipping
S5000PAL motherboard - used but in original packaging
2x Intel E5320 1.86GHz SL9MV Xeon socket 771 CPUs (fitted to board) - no heatsinks
16GB of PC2-5300 (667MHz) ECC RAM - 8x 2GB DIMMS (fitted to board)
I/O shield



Motherboard #2 - £30 + shipping
S5000PAL motherboard - used without original packaging
1x Intel E5320 1.86GHz SL9MV Xeon socket 771 CPU (fitted to board) - no heatsink
