I would probably go for a SuperWorkstation (www.supermicro.com), like  
this one for example: http://www.supermicro.nl/products/system/4U/7046/SYS-7046A-6.cfm

It's more expensive, for sure, than a combo of Athena case / MSI  
board, but it surely rocks.
As a cheaper alternative, you might want to consider buying a  
SuperMicro (or Tyan) motherboard to put into your Athena case.
