I'm not as good as other people at suggesting hardwares yet but since you could try these boards:
http://au.shopping.com/2-x-pci+parallel-port--ecp-epp-spp+socket-lga1156/products

For printers and etc using parallel port there's one of these solutions:
1. Motherboard with parallel port
2. Motherboard and a PCI to parallel controller card
~~3. Scrap the idea of parallel port and connect using USB if you can~~ (Unless the hardware doesn't support using USB or other issues)

As for server board... Have a look at http://www.maximumpc.com/article/news/evga_announces_dualsocket_classified_sr2_motherboard, and EVGA is selling it for ~600 (http://www.evga.com/products/moreIn...d Family&series=Intel 5520 Series Family&sw=5)

Usually build my own, but in case such as this I like Supermicro SuperServers. Motherboard + case + power supply, and heatsinks depending on the model.

Here's one I built with a 7046A-T, Adaptec 5805 and Intel Quad-port NIC:

Other SuperServer models include motherboards with LSI SAS RAID controllers onboard. Note that RAID-5 sometimes requires an upgrade "button". As well, redundant hot-swap power supplies.
