Should I get the barebones case and get a X9SRL-F as @Chris Moore suggests? Or should I grab the combo with the X9DRi-F?
Here's my plan for the server:
The reason I ask is because the combo with the dual socket is considerably cheaper.

Here's my plan for the server:
- FreeNAS virtualized with 6x 4TB NAS drives z2.
- VMs for lab work.
- I'm not sure if I can run the X9DRI-F with just one CPU? I know there are some limitations on using all PCI-E slots. I'd like this option for power saving.
- Is the backplane in the 846 - BPN-SAS2-846EL1 fast enough?
