Hi guys, anyone running a Xeon based mobo with a hacky?
Need 6-8 cores and mATX form factor. Not sure if Broadwell or Haswell Xeon chips are out, am I forced to do Ivy Bridge or Haswell?

With Skylake I'm limited to 4 cores like the 6700, or the Skylake-E (but I assume this is not supported...also is too expensive).

Anyways, a machine you or me may build will not be as reliable as a Mac Pro. I like PCs more than Macs, but it's the truth. A Mac Pro will run Mac OS X flawlessly by the way, while a Hackintoshed PC will run into issues every now and then, which is damn near unacceptable for a person who will use a Mac Pro to it's full potential. Another thing is how we can't get our PCs down to that form factor, and how the GPUs aren't directly available to the consumer. I would however love to see the lists you are currently coming up with. Sadly, there are no Micro ATX motherboards that will support Xeon E5 Processors and Mac OS X.
