    Supermicro 6028U-TRTP X10DRU-i Barebone $349

    Thanks everyone! I guess it is nice getting the EL version despite having to buy either some cables or card. Ended up purchasing a AOC-S3008L-L8e. Hopefully that works out for me.

    Wow. Thank you so much for that explanation. That makes a whole lot more sense, and there was a lot I wasn't understanding about this kind of hardware. Seems like picking up a AOC-S3008L-L8e or AOC-S3008L-L8i make a lot of sense to get the full utilization given the prices I am seeing for...

    Supermicro 6028U-TRTP X10DRU-i Barebone $349

    I'm considering the 6028U-TR4T+ for a dedicated TrueNAS build. Basically equipping this with a single lower end processor like a E5 2620-v3 to minimize power consumption.
