Hello,
I am looking to rebuild my NAS, which was built with cheapo hardware and has since died. (https://www.asus.com/ca-en/Motherboards/E45M1M_PRO/)
I want to upgrade to ECC and something with actual performance, plus IPMI because I'm tired of screwing with monitors at the BIOS.
I already have some parts I intend to use so the plan would be to buy mobo+proc from newegg.ca and RAM from Crucial (buying the RAM seems to be troublesome for canada, newegg.ca only has kingston, which I'm not confident in compatibility)
I would like to ask if anyone can see any major problems with my selections.
The first I can think of is airflow in that case, but with no video card, a modded 250mm fan in the side panel, and cages with fans, I believe it will be sufficient.
I'm curious which of those motherboards people would choose and why. I tend toward the MBD-X11SSH-LN4F-O as I don't think the extra x4 PCIE will be of much use to me.
Thank you.
