If you're going with supermicro motherboards, you should look at X9 single-processor boards (which I believe will be sandy/ivybridge). Once you find something interesting post a link here and get some comments from the peanut gallery. When in doubt, consult intel spec sheets for chipsets and processors to make sure they both support ECC memory.As along as you guys support purchasing used hardware.
The hardware on your suggested hardware thread is very rare on eBay, from what the last two weeks of searching has to say anyway.... Time to start looking for suitable hardware myself i suppose. Is there anything else specific that a Motherboard should have in terms of capabilities and spec other than CPU support of anything after Nehalem, have Intel NIC or NIC's and Intel SATA controller?

All my servers are using Intel Xeon 5500/5600 product family, which I believe is Westmere... Guess that just makes me "old school"... :(

This may be a personal question that you don't wish to answer, which I wont mind if you don't. What do you guys have your servers and 'network gear' for at home? Do you have it all running in a live setup providing a service/use or is it there for 'tinker/messing' or just for the 'fun' of things to play with?
