Other information:
Have been needing a new server for a while, was going to go Xeon-E, but this build should hopefully give me just as much or more performance, and costs a lot lot less. ECC on this board should in theory work, have completed the build today, but not powered up and tested yet.

Will be adding more storage as soon as funds allow, looking to get at least 4TB of enterprise SSDs in the system with a HBA, and will also need to add an Intel NIC.

Costs so far is about £600, all new apart from the chassis and the 1TB WD drives.

Build pics and ECC testing results to follow :)
