May 31, 201214 yr I am looking to build my first unraid server. Primary use will be offsite backup. I have a drobo that works great but I am looking for a project to do and don't want to buy another drobo. I searched the motherboard list and many of the options listed as tested are several years old. What is a good current option?

I have a drobo that works great but I am looking for a project to do and don't want to buy another drobo. I searched the motherboard list and many of the options listed as tested are several years old. What is a good current option? What budget? Intel or AMD? So many options. Just stay away from "exotic" chipsets for motherboard, SATA and LAN. Take a look at what others are using. Many examples can be found here.
June 1, 201214 yr Author budget isn't necessarily an issue. the unraid server would basically be a offsite redundant backup device only without a lot of need for any additional plugins. as i look through many of the example builds a lot of the motherboards are now longer stocked (on new egg at least). likely set up will be using crash plan to keep a back up at home (with my drobo) and a back up at my office (unraid).
June 1, 201214 yr Ever thought about a Supermicro X9SCM with a G630 processor? You can manage it entirely remote over LAN through IPMI and it can be run completely headless.
