February 7, 201610 yr ... Would these memory be OK for this MB as well ? Looks fine to me -- registered DDR3 modules is just what you need.
February 7, 201610 yr Now I have 2 choices Maybe second one is that I shall order ? if IPMI/KVM is better than be without USB3 (not using USB3 devices anyway) First http://www.ebay.com/itm/220970115780?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT This have USB 3 but no IPMI/KVM .

February 7, 201610 yr 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.

More pci-e slots as well.
February 8, 201610 yr Author IPMI all the way. You can always add in USB3.0 for 30$, IPMI like functionality is going to cost significantly more.
February 8, 201610 yr 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? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835114126

What about? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835114126 That cooler is for a square CPU mount. Just make sure the mobo you're using it on has a square mount and not a narrow mount.
February 8, 201610 yr That cooler is for a square CPU mount. Just make sure the mobo you're using it on has a square mount and not a narrow mount. The specs don't say for sure but it looks like the ASRock EP2C602-4L/D16 SSI EEB uses the square. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157350&cm_re=EP2C602-4L%2fD16-_-13-157-350-_-Product
February 8, 201610 yr Author Anyone have any leads on sub $300 motherboards in Europe? (preferably something with 8+ sata ports and IPMI)

What about? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835114126 That cooler is passive: no fan. Don't know if you're OK with that.
February 8, 201610 yr That cooler is passive: no fan. Don't know if you're OK with that. That helps keep it quiet. Hopefully there is enough air movement that it stays cool enough. But you are right, an active cooler that fits the height requirement is a "less worry" solution.
February 8, 201610 yr Ordered from eBay it will be a nice upgrade SuperMicro X9SRL-F Motherboard E5-2670 SR0KX (VT-d) 2.60GHz Eight-Core RAM 64GB (8 x 8GB) SNK-P0050AP4 4U Active CPU Heatsink

February 8, 201610 yr That is an amazing system for ~ $500 !! 8 cores, PassMark over 12000, and 64GB of RAM for not much more than the memory alone would cost if you bought it new
February 9, 201610 yr Is there an ATX PSU with 2 EPS connectors for less than $100? I know they make the adapters to turn 1 8-pin into 2, but what spec on the psu should I look for to power 2 of these?

Don't skimp on the PSU ... buy one with 2 EPS connections. e.g. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139056
February 9, 201610 yr Well I finally pulled the trigger. CPU: 2 x Intel Xeon e5-2670 Mobo: Supermicro X9DRL-If-B Heatsink: 2 x Supermicro SNK-P0050AP4 RAM: 64GB (8 x 8GB) PC3-10600R DDR3 1333MHz ECC Reg Server Memory RAM Upgrade Kit PSU: SeaSonic X Series X-850 Should be a nice upgrade from my FX-6300 and 24GB Ram
February 9, 201610 yr ... Should be a nice upgrade from my FX-6300 and 24GB Ram ... a bit of an understatement :) 6 cores => 16 cores (with support for 32 threads with hyperthreading) PassMark 6345 => 18388 24GB => 64GB I'd say you'll notice a bit of a difference
February 9, 201610 yr I am sooo jealous. :'( Can't justify the expense right now. You guys are getting some pretty sensational bargains.
February 9, 201610 yr 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.

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 ]
