Is this possible?

[Mark Haney]

I don't recall the MB in that machine off the top of my head, and I'm at
work right now, but I'll dig it up and email you directly if you like. I do
know mine is 64GB RAM, expandable to 128GB and UEFI.  I have a mix of HDD
and SSD drives in that server as well.

I don't have all the specs,but that's a start.  I'll email you the rest
once I get home this afternoon.
