January 4, 201313 yr Hey, I've been a lurker here forever and I am finally now ready to build a server. I am seeking some feedback and input on MB and CPU combos. - Purpose of server: newsgroup processing, serving HD files to 2 displays, photo and general system backup - starting with 3 x 3TB segate data, 1 x 3TB parity, 1 x 500GB Cache ; would like to expand to 8 drives at some point for 24 TB Q1. I'd like to get core 13 or i5 setup, but I can't seem to find a combo that seems to be "best". Any suggestions for a MB that offers the most features and is stable? Q2. I have a Core i7 920 is there a MB that would work with that CPU? I don't see a lot of people running this CPU (power draw :performance I'm guessing?) Thanks for any help! MrFrosty
