Does anybody have any suggestions for a cheapish C602 motherboard? I am currently using the asrock EP2C602-4L/D16 which works very well and am looking to set up a second system for failover/redundancy for which my current quad core second node just can't take the load even for short periods of time. However, the price of the asrock board has doubled since I bought it new last summer.

Things that would be nice but not required
  • onboard 10Gb SFP+
  • 16 port SAS (or sata) + 2 for mirrored boot drives
  • I would like to have it in the same SSI EEB form factor as my asrock board as this system is in an identical case.
Things that are required
  • 16DIMM slots
  • IPMI with out of band managment
  • 2x1Gb ethernet
  • Accept 2x E5 2680v2 CPUs
  • Provide sufficient PCI-e Connectivity to add things from the nice to have section and a HHHL PCI-e SSD

Edit: I just saw the x9DR3-LN4F+ boards however they won't fit in the chassis I already have :(
