trying to find the perfect motherboard for my NAS build that supports DDR3 ECC ram while also being affordable and microATX is strangely difficult
(I think I've found the right one but it took a long time)
I'm going to stick a really cheap CPU and some RAM I have lying around on there and stuff it into a box with 6 drives. It'll have room for an upgrade to ECC ram (which is now cheapish), and the 10Gbe SFP+ NIC I want to add.
Eventually I can stick it in a larger case and add a SAS HBA as well.
Behold, the perfect motherboard
