    .. and Im talking about a single rack with one or two 56xx with 6/12 cores.
    Lets see if I find something cheap on Ebay.
    A 2U rack chassis (which is what i think you mean) with 2 Xeons wouldn't be that loud. In DrPop's case, he has a 2U rack chassis with 8 Xeons. Much higher density. I guarantee you'd never hear your GPUs over the amount of noise a high density rack chassis puts out.

    Something like this

    Looking for Xeon 5660, Power supply and Graphics onboard. Most of them have a few hard drives and a lot of fans.
    Is there any reason why this should not run like a single PC ?

    It should run similar to a normal PC. However if you use Windows, you cannot use any Basic, Starter or Home editions. Your only options are Professional and Ultimate. The other versions will not support 2 CPUs.
