you've lost me...  

The intel S5500U/E5520 isn't currently for sale ..   I'm looking for parts for that, 
as the recommended intel heatsink is not fit for purpose, (passive copper )... it 
needs an Active copper heatpipe + fan, and I've only got enough ram for 1 cpu 
currently. 

I do however have another similar Dual server board with chassis, currently its also 
sporting a single E5520 cpu. Cpu's like these are cheap on ebay (like <Â20) 
If you ever wanted to go do this route I'd be happy to invite you over for a coffee 
and give you an intro and a box of parts to get you started. the CPS got a bad rap 
due to there chipsets overheating - nothing a Â5 fan from mapin wont fix!  Its well 
worth the effort - I've got 3 Enterprise grade machines here build from ebay server 
parts and leftovers. for a faction of the price of a single off the shelf 
workstation. 

yes the AAHD2-HY is for sale, its a full AMD MB/CPU/Ram/heatsink bundle.  - i just 
stripped it out of a fanboy Corsair case thats now housing the S5500U motherboard.

I think is an A4 chip with integrated radeon GFX. I did a test install of win10 
without issues to check it worked.
