I need a new mainboard. It must have:
AM2+ Socket
1x PCI-E 2.0 x16 (running at x16 with other 3 PCI-E slots filled)
3x PCI-E 2.0 x4 or x8 or x16 (all must be at least x4 electrical, prefer one 16x electrical with two x4 electrical)
3x PCI (PCI-X Prefered)

I Found the DFI lanparty 790FX-M2R with these specifications, but cannot find it new anywhere (found it "open box", without several parts needed just to post).

Anyone know of another board with these specs? I already went through everything that DFI, ASUS, TYAN, and ABIT make, and found only this one non-available board.

That board is the only one I've seen to have those specifications, the closest I can find to it is this one: http://www.giga-byte.com.tw/Products/Mot...?ProductID=2694
Which is obviously lacking a PCI slot.

What are you using all these slots for? If they're for RAID controller arrays or something like that, then you might want to consider a dual motherboard case, as it'll give you more space for what you want to do anyway.
