First of all.. Great forum... The knowledge and info is very useful and informative.
So I've been reading and searching the community forum and I think I'm about ready to finish my purchase...
I'm going with a Supermicro X9DRL-3F 2 socket motherboard for a few reasons...
Price and I want to run VMs on it using the FreeNAS x10 bhyve hypervisor.
This will be for home use. (primarily files, media, light streaming and VMs)
I have:
Case: Silverstone CS380 ATX
PSU: Seasonic X series 650watt
HDD: 7 WD Red Drives
Looking at below for the rest...
Mobo: Supermicro X9DRL-3F-O Dual LGA2011/ Intel C606/ DDR3/ SATA3/ V&2G
$299.00
CPU: CM8062101082713 1 INTEL XEON E5-2670 8 CORE 2.60GHz 20M 8GT/s 115W PROCESSOR
$88 (hoping 1 CPU we'll be ok in the beginning)
RAM: 16GB 2x16GB DDR3 Memory PC3-10600R ECC REG DIMM 240-Pin 1333MHz RAM Memory
$34.00 (I'll start with 32gb and grow from there..)
I think all I need now is to get a thumbdrive for FreeNAS, heatsinks, SLOG device, ups and I'm good to go for the install...
Looking for input on the hardware I have chosen.. (I did my best to look at mobo manuals, specs, requirements and reading through forums)
Any input on a heatsink??
