jakebake Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment
jamerson9 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment
DoeBoye Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 $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? Quote Link to comment

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 Quote Link to comment
DoeBoye Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 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! Quote Link to comment

queeg Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 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.
