August 26, 200916 yr Hey. I'm new, decided that its about time I built a file server instead of adding more and more single drives to my HTPC! I'm going to stick to the recommend Mobo and was looking at the Asus P5B-VM DO. Does anyone know where I can find one in the UK? All i've found currently are the non "DO" version or "Refurbished" ones. I'm not really comfortable with getting a return mobo, Its a bit too important for that!
August 26, 200916 yr You probably won't find that board as it is a little old. Take a look in the wiki at the hardware compatibility page and look through the list of motherboards there. If you want the one that is currently used in LimeTech build then that would be the supermicro c2see board
August 26, 200916 yr I couldn't find a retailer that had the c2see board in stock in the UK. Scan list it but they are out of stock no ETA. All of the other sites I use regularly don't stock it.
August 26, 200916 yr Author Preferably I want a mATX board, so the supermicro c2see is out of the running. Any other suggestions?

Check out my link i gave in my first post I've been studying it for a good few hrs Just thought people might know of similar boards or good ones off the top of their heads The Asus P5KPL-CM looks pretty promising, that with a SATA PCI card. Am I safe to assume that boards arent generally depreciated - i.e. with each new version of unRAID support for more boards/chipsets are added, but its unlikely that they are removed? Wouldnt want to find that in X months/Years time I've made a bad choice

August 26, 200916 yr Author Didn't think that would be the case Right, so unless anyone comes up with somewhere I can get the P5B-VM DO, i'll end this thread here and post again in the Hardware section when I'm about to pull the trigger on my build!
