February 17, 201115 yr Would this motherboard fit this case... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813500045 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119161&Tpk=Cooler%20Master%20Elite%20335
February 17, 201115 yr A mini-ITX board will be compatible in an ATX case. If I remember correctly, it should fit right over the backplane with four mounting holes.
February 17, 201115 yr $60 for a board and Sempron 140 seems like a pretty sweet deal! Have you seen if anyone have experience with the chipset for UnRaid?
February 17, 201115 yr Author $60 for a board and Sempron 140 seems like a pretty sweet deal! Have you seen if anyone have experience with the chipset for UnRaid? yeah that is what I ordered... and this same motherboard/cpu combo is actually in the recommended (prototype) builds forum http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=7998.0
February 17, 201115 yr You can't go wrong with that kind of recommendation! . The only drawback to that board that I see is the maximum drives it can support (6 drives with a sil3132 card from monoprice). Makes a great mini-server though! Enjoy!

You've obliviously not heard of Murphys version of Parkinson's Law: Storage requirements will always increase to meet available storage, and it's always way sooner than planned.
February 17, 201115 yr On a deal like this you should figure out how much of the hardware you gonna buy can be carried forward when you upgrade (like on the next Black Friday). The cpu will be good to keep. The ram not so much so get the minimum (1GB). Any motherboards will be using ddr3 by then. The case will still work for you. The sil3132 card will be usable.
