Maybe I am stupid, but its time to upgrade my NAS to next gen with custom made aluminium chassis. Too bad its lot of 5 - some friends will upgrade too . Planning ESXi (NAS + pfSense + Server) combined V-solution with this mobo and low power E3-1220L V3 (it has AES NI too).

1 more lot - Lot of 5 AIC ARA Server Boards | eBay
This is insane price considering (lot of 5!):

I have spent some time researching this board and I believe I will be hopefully able to make the x16 PCIe goldfinger work too (not that I need it in a NAS, 4x slot is enough for SAS2 HBA). Only sad thing is UDIMM requirement as price is slightly higher.
I plan to write on my blog about this build - I hope for success.

XPenology up and running.
