I've got an old 1U Dell PowerEdge R610 server. I'd like to harvest the two Xeon E5620 processors and 48GB of RAM (12x 4GB Hynix HMT351R7CFR8A) and transplant them into a motherboard that will fit in an ATX tower. My overall goal is to get some hands on experience with FreeNAS and end up with a budget NAS/Plex server. I've done a little bit of research on Newegg for dual socket LGA 1366 motherboards and the most affordable option seems to be Intel S5520SCR SSI EEB Server Motherboard. Will this work for my use case? If not, can anyone suggest a better motherboard?
