I have Asus P8b WS, but would really like to have remote management. I am interested in the Tyan S5512GM4NR or the ubiquitous X9SCM-F-O.
Any word on when the E3 V2 stuff is going to be available or even 2011 UP/DP stuff? I am not in "need" so I am up in the air on waiting or getting a current gen mobo.

This is for a dedicated storage server(OpenIndiana) and I have a socket1366 dedicated ESXi box. If I went 2011 I would most likely move to an all in one.

TIA

cactus: CeBit is next week. Generally a lot of server stuff gets released then. Just a thought.

By the way cactus. I actually am transitioning "The Big WHS" to a 2P Opteron 6128 setup. Overall cost is much lower than the E5-2600 series. Actually, dba's 3U that is FS (that you looked at) is a good deal. Second CPU would be ~ $100.
