June 28, 201214 yr Well not exactly a completely new build. I just replaced the Intel DG965SS Core2 Duo motherboard in my server with a Supermicro X7SPA-HF-D525 ATOM mini-ITX. I used the old SO-DIMMs that came in my iMac and an Adaptec 1430sa to add 4 more SATA ports for a total of 10. It couldn't have gone smoother. The board is laid out nicely and was a breeze to get everything going. It also has IPMI on the first NIC so you can do remote monitoring and management. Just thought I'd put in a thumbs up for this board if anyone is looking for a mini-ITX solution. It is a little pricey but I'm really happy with it so far. Steve
June 29, 201214 yr Nice to see other using this board I am not exactly using it yet, but it's bought and ready to be mounted in the build I am working on. So far a thumbs up for it from me too
June 29, 201214 yr Same one I'm looking at for my next server. May see what the next-gen i3 brings, but looks like a great board in this case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112339
