Hello,
I am in the process on picking out the parts for my next freenas/plex server.
I am building the server around the e5-2670 because they are ridiculously cheap right now and I require the processing power for the +10 hd transcodes my system gets tasked with regularly.
Other then the CPU I know I would like 128gb registered ECC of ram to be a future possibility (32 to start).
12 drives is my eventual goal (6 to start)
My main issue is finding a Mobo up to the challenge.
Everything I have seen so far doesn't seem to have onboard video (I assume I would need to get a GPU to run a header?)
Any input is appreciated even if it is to tell me I am going at this incorrectly.
Cheers
