I've got an m1015 on the way, as well as a LIAN LI pc-q25b case which is a mini-itx case with support for 7 3.5 inch hdd's. I've also got 2x8gb of kingston ddr3 i can use. I'm looking to use 7 4tb drives.
I'm looking for motherboard suggestions for the least amount of hassle during installation and use.
I would assume for the least hassle i should get something with a gigabit intel NIC and enough power to run a few apps such as sickbeard, couchpotato, sabnzbd etc.
It's purpose will be as an SMB server for a few htpcs as well ass backup of a few computers.
I'd like to keep the motherboard/cpu cost under $400.
Who's got an idea of what I should be looking for, or better yet an example of another system working within this form factor.
I've seen this. Should this be my motherboard or is there something better I can get under $400
I don't mind getting ECC ram, as long as it can get 16gb in a mini itx system.
And yes I require that this system be ITX.
If you guys strongly suggest it. I could spend the extra cash for this http://www.ncix.ca/products/?sku=83351
Ok I've changed my mind (come to my senses.) I'm going to order an mATX case. Still using my m1015. So with that in mind what motherboard do you guys suggest for the m-atx form factor?
