I noticed that the recommended hardware addresses E3-12xx v3, but not v5.
I'm not 100% sure on what I'll end up doing but I'm leaning towards these 2 options:
1. Set up FreeNAS and run a web-server or 2 in jails
2. Setup a virtualization environment with a virtualized ubuntu using it's new ZFS support, and other virtualized servers.
I'm thinking I'm going to go with the Xeon E3 v5 to stay with the latest technology.
1. What motherboard would serve me well for either option?
2. What should I be looking for to confirm that the motherboard is supported? It's been 5 or 6 years since I built a gaming rig. I'm looking at new egg, and I'm only seeing ~11 compatible mother boards, but I'm seeing other people posting links to v5 compatible motherboards that I haven't been able to find while searching.
