Is there any hope for a long-term build

Ive decided to go with this amazin motherboard,

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Image...520 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HPTX Intel Motherboard

and get 2 1366 xeon processors, or a server motherboard with 1155 socket for 2 4 core processors, If I waited half a year, would there be drastically different server stuff, or when it comes to intel, Xenon is best, etc. They have a 6 core for 700 bucks.... thats insane, imagine 2 of those, and like 24gigs of ram. If I waited a while would there be something that just blows that away?

Also.. I hear people building servers for virtual machines, so lets say I have server 2008r2 enterprise on it, and I run 5 VM's running windows 7, how would I access those, like could I have 5 monitors and keyboards or something, and that one computer would be running 5 os's, and on top of it, on the native OS (ubuntu) I could host servers and stuff? I would like to be able to do something like that if possible. RUn a linux VM, windows 7, VM, windows server 2008 VM, and then some linux os powering all of those. You would think my 16gig water cooled I7-2600k would run a ton, but in windows 7 ultimiate it seems like even one virtual OS is a bit laggy (at least when I open it on the computer and use my mouse and try to download things, it's like there is some sort of lag, maybe im using the wrong VM or something, but how could I basically get 4 OS's running from one box, accessable by other computers or anything, I have at least 15 hard drives, 10 3tB 7200rpm , 5 solid states, (120gig force GT3 550read/write)
 
Ah you mean the "In Q4 2011, Intel will unveil its new Sandy Bridge-E (enthusiast) platform, ". I saw some info on that, its a 6 core with 15MB L3 CAche!!!!!! you think they would have a server board that would take something like 2 of those? Or is the board I listed above basically the best board possible for a number crunching multi-processing server. (I will push it too the edge, the 2600k is too slow for me, VM's don't run as fast as I would like etc...) SO you think there will be a 2-cpu mobo that will take something like that, or would an AMD OPerton 6XXX (1000$ per CPU, ) but two of those 12 core server CPU's on some AMD mobo , would that destroy anything, or you think in the next few months there will be some server mobos and cpu's that will destroy all
