Ok guys, I'm going to be building a new server very soon to replace my existing one.
The goal here will be maximum storage with a low price point. Here is what I have planned so far:
Case: Norco 4220
RAID: LSI MegaRAID 9260-16i (PCI-e 8x)
CPU: Intel Core i3 socket 1155
RAM: 8gigs DDR3
NIC: Intel Quad gigabit (PCI-e 1x)
So with that in mind, I'm looking for a motherboard that would have the correct PCI-e slots. It also needs to have onboard video of some kind. I would love to find a board that is micro ATX since those seem to be the cheapest. This will just be used for my home storage server, so it doesn't need to have anything special.
