BUILD build validation.

[Stux]

I'm very pleased I'm researching this a lot before I bought anything ;-).
I totally forgot that the port I was planning to use is the 10Gb uplink SFP+ port of the juniper EX42000.
There aren't many options with SFP+ ports unfortunately :-/
So I've been researching all over again and this is the new proposal:

• Supermicro X10DRD-iNTP
  
• Intel Xeon E5-2603v4
  
• 2 x Samsung DDR4 16GB DIMM SDRAM
  
• Supermicro CBL-0349L (SFP+ cable to connect to one of the Juniper EX4200 uplink SPF+ ports)
  
• Antec Nineteen Hundred Tower
  
• Noctua CPU cooler
  
• SanDisk ReadyCache 32GB SSD

I already own:

• Corsair RM750x
  
• 8 x HGST Deskstar NAS 5Tb

With Regards,
Kobe.

Will the Antec 1900 take an E-ATX motherboard?

According to this it does? https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Antec/Nineteen_Hundred/
It's however strange it isn't indicated on antec website itself. It's showing:
Motherboards: SSI CEB, ATX, Micro ATX, Mini-ITX

With Regards,
Kobe.

I would confirm it with Antec

Since I have a rack anyway it might be better to use a 4U, so I've changed it to Inter-tech IPC 4U-4129-N.

• Supermicro X10DRD-iNTP
  
• Intel Xeon E5-2603v4
  
• 2 x Samsung 16 GB reg. ECC DDR4 DIMM SDRAM M393A2K40BB1-CRC
  
• Supermicro CBL-0349L (SFP+ cable to connect to one of the Juniper EX4200 uplink SPF+ ports)
  
• Inter-tech IPC 4U-4129-N
• ARCTIC Freezer i32
• Samsung 750 EVO MZ-750120

I already own:

• Corsair RM750x
  
• 8 x HGST Deskstar NAS 5Tb

Just to prevent other people from making the same mistake:

Apparently you cannot fit a regular LGA2011-3 cooler onto the Supermicro X10DRD-iNTP mounting pins.
(the ARCTIC Freezer i32 doesn't seem to fit the mobo)​

Of course not, it uses the narrow mounting solution. Most server heatsinks either support it or have a variant that does.

I guess the better options are either

• SNK-P0048AP4
• SNK-P0050AP4

It isn't clear at all from their documentation that this doesn't fit (probably common knowledge but as this is the first time I'm buying this kind of hardware I wasn't aware)
