You're probably in for a Xeon 5xxx or Opteron 2xx or 2xxx board if you
want this much RAM.

Check Tyan, Supermicro, or for full systems Dell, HP, IBM.

You can probably pick up an opteron 2xx system for relatively cheap if
you don't need the latest and greatest system.

Most of those are extended ATX or custom sized though.
