So I'm building out a new Hardware RAID 6 server... this is for the home, and will house mainly media (some dd images)
I have been trying to find a cheap MB/CPU that will meat my needs:
1) Support ECC memory
2) PCIe 2.0 x8 slot support for a 3ware 9750
Newegg has the:
SUPERMICRO MBD-X9SCM-O for ~173.00
or one of the
SUPERMICRO MBD-X96CL Boards for 159.00-188.00
and I would really like to use this low power CPU (still trying to determine if it will work or not:
Intel Pentium Dual-Core G620T for 83.00
Now It's really just a nice file server I'm not going to be crunching numbers or serveing lots of people.
With this MB/CPU combo I am at ~$242.00. Cheap and low power is the name of the game here For the requirements Is there something else I should be looking at?
I'm also torn if i end up with one of the boards linked above, any recommendations, which one i should get and why?
