I don't know though that's partly bad research on your part. That information 
regarding the riser is in the pdf on their website...  I've built with that 
board

And if you needed this configuration you probably could have saved heartache 
going with a supermicro or tyan prebuild or just had the build speced by Boxx 
or Racksaver etc. :)

Yes I understand the issue with accents but its funny when most non-corporate 
clients deal with that from every major vendor right now

I needed to buy two Opteron capable servers with PCI slots. I finally 
found one that had both PCI-X and PCI. It was an Asus.

So when we got it in, I noticed that it only came with a PCI-X riser. I 
went back and forth with Asus "support" who finally gave up and said 
that they had no part # for a PCI riser card. We had to communicate 
through email because I could not, for the life of me, understand him 
through his Asian accent.

After much trial and error I finally found some guy on the internet who 
had risers that worked with those servers.

That's my pretty crappy whitebox support story. And the whitebox itself 
(no processors, drives, or RAM) was $1000+.
