Greetings Everyone, my first post here and probably many more in the future
I'am in the process of building a computer for audio purpose only. I'am a complete noob with computers besides using them. I have been researching for days, probably a month and I did find some answers, but I want to be 100% sure if I'am buying the correct parts which are compatible.
I believe some of you might be kind enough (if i may add, highly skilled experts with immense knowledge of computers) to help me out with this dilemma & queries which bog my mind.
the configuration....
Case- either streacom FC10, hdplex 5 (new gen, to be released anytime now) or a tried and tested Silverstone TJ 08 E
Mobo Intel S1200V3 motherboard
Intel Haswell Xeon E3-1230L v3 CPU
PPA studio USB card
SSD 16GB Apacer SLC industrial type or CF card (for more advanced users)
the ram would be 2x2GB Apacer ECC DDR3-1066 RAM, CL7, unbuffered, industrial series (extended temp range from -45 to +85
Thermalright HR02 heatsink
PSU highly recommend multi-rail (3.3v, 5v, 12v) linear PSU directly into motherboard.
I'am confused about the MOBO, there are 4 versions in the intel s1200v3 family, RPL, RPO, RPM, RPS. Please remember this will be a dedicated PC for playing audio only.
I have been asked to choose the one with minimum features, which one would that be?
providing a few links (some authored by Patrick) for a quick read....
Intel® Server Board S1200V3RP Family
