After reading the Hardware recommendations thread and the hardware requirements page I think I have a parts list for my first build. If there are any glaring compatibility errors in my choices that I may have overlooked I would appreciate the expertise of the forum members.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATED LIST
Thank you @CraigD and @ChriZ for pointing out my mistakes. I'm learning and greatly appreciate the advice. I had to go do some extra reading to figure out if I was OK with using unbuffered RAM, and I think it's a risk I can live with.
Motherboard (switched to the model that supports IPMI)
1 SUPERMICRO MBD-X11SSM-F-O Micro ATX Server Motherboard
Processor (the board supports E3-1200... I'm assuming that means all 12** series so 1220 will be OK?)
1 Intel Xeon E3-1220 v5 SkyLake 3.0 GHz LGA 1151 80W BX80662E31220V5 Server Processor
Chassis
1 Fractal Design Define R5 White Silent ATX Midtower Computer Case
Power Supply
1 SeaSonic S12G S12G-550 550W ATX12V / EPS12V 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Active PFC Power Supply
Boot device
1 SUPERMICRO SSD-DM016-PHI SATA DOM (SuperDOM) Solutions
Memory (I used the Crucial site configuration tool to find compatible memory. I'm glad @ChriZ pointed that out, I've been happy with other Crucial products in the past so to me it's worth the small price increase. Since the board supports up to 64GB I'm thinking I can start with 2 x 16GB and add 2 more in the future if needed)
1 Crucial 32GB Kit (2 x 16GB) DDR4-2133 ECC UDIMM http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/x11ssm-f/CT7982363
HDDs (7 x 6TB instead of 8 x 4TB so I can fit them all on the board without needing an HBA)
7 WD Red WD60EFRX 6TB IntelliPower 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" NAS Hard Drive Bare Drive
