1. i need to buy another vrm module as it only has one in. anyone know a place i could buy these?

2. will i need special cpu's if there gonna run side by side?

thankful of any help :)

You should be able to get the VRM's from Dell. Luckily my Intel server had all 4 VRM's when I picked it up, just had to load in my 4 procs and I was ready to burn rubber :p

And you won't need special CPU's, all of the P3 Xeon's (i'm assuming that's what it uses) are all setup for multi-cpu systems. You can find matching pairs of new and used P3 Xeons on Ebay for cheap. I picked up my 4 x 500mhz 1mb L2 procs for like $35 for all of em :D
 
thanks for that frag, your always quick at replying, i will get in touch with dell and have a search on ebay.

I try ;) hehe

If you can't get them from Dell (which you should be able to), have a search on ebay for an old used server of the same type and use it as a parts machine.
