Maybe second one is that I shall order ?  if IPMI/KVM is better than be without USB3 (not using USB3 devices anyway)

Entirely a personal choice ... I'd be inclined to go with IPMI, but it's also true that the next version of UnRAID is rumored to support eSATA and USB drives in the array, so USBv3 may be useful to have.    On the other hand, you can always pop in a USB3 card, whereas you can't easily add IPMI.

I would go with the second for sure. More pci-e slots as well.

8. Noctua NH-U9DXi4 90mm SSO2 CPU Cooler (x2). Runs very cool and is low profile enough not to come close to Norco cover.

 

I'll need something lower profile as my 4u server has an elevated motherboard tray.  A 2u cooler will be fine, and even a 3u cooler might fit.  What about?

That cooler is passive: no fan. Don't know if you're OK with that.

Contemplated going dual socket, because why not at these proc prices, however cant justify it when throwing in the need for a case as well.

 

Went with:

Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157523

RAM: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/201380486027

CPU: Listed in OP

 

Hopefully i can find my LGA2011 heatsink plate for my Noctua.

 

I thought the same thing, but the X9DRL-If is a dual socket in a atx form factor.

Thanks for the heads up, though I run VM's and need the full length x16 slots.

... Can't justify the expense right now.

 

Justify??    Since when is that a requirement for technology purchases ??!!  :) :)

 

I confess I've also resisted jumping in on this, although I'm VERY tempted.  [For some strange reason, my wife thinks my 3 UnRAID servers; 3 HTPC's; 3 desktops; 3 older "spare" PC's; and 5 laptops are enough for the 2 of us without the need for yet-another server  :) ]

Well, well, well...  let me help you justify!

Pop in a 3x5.25" to 5x3.5" and you have 15 HDD goodness at $90.00  :o

You can win this one, ..

 

"But Honey, if I build this one server I can consolidate two I have into it, we'd end up having more space, and less noise!"

 

Then just kinda forget to ever take the other two offline.  ;D

Mother of god..... Can anyone tell me if the hard drive cages on the side can be replaced with 5x3's as well? Would be quite perfect, I do believe.
