May 16, 20188 yr I bought the processor without realizing how difficult buying a motherboard would be. My case can fit up to an ATX motherboard. I am in the US. Edited May 16, 20188 yr by Ryland location
May 18, 20188 yr I bought an ASRock EPC602D8A MB off newegg for my E5-2690v2 Xeon I bought on eBay. Because it takes Narrow ILM I bought a Noctua NH-D9DX i4 3U. MB: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157523 HeatSink: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAADY4P65924 E5-2560v2 SR1A5 eBay search: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1312.R1.TR0.TRC2.A0.H0.XSR1A5.TRS1&_nkw=sr1a5&_sacat=175673 Got this memory off eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/64GB-4x16GB-MEMORY-RAM-4-ASRock-Server-Board-EPC602D8A-EN2C602-EN2C602-4L-C95/302274625929?hash=item4660f8c189:g:GS4AAOSwNwlaC1kq:sc:USPSFirstClass!50313!US!-1 Almost forgot the memory - opps!

May 18, 20188 yr Author None of those motherboards are currently available. I have been trying to buy a used board off of one of the other forum's I am on but that has been slow. How is your server with the E5-2650v2? Mine is getting an upgrade from an i3-4340 because I want to have plex run comskip which is taxing the i3.
May 18, 20188 yr Author On that note I ended up searching ebay for C602 based boards and found a Supermicro ATX board that should work for $165. Im just waiting on a reply about some specs of it.

MBs I don't buy used if I can get one new. Processors and Memory I have. Had too many new lemon MBs don't want to get something I can't RMA. Same idea with hard drives. Never gotten a bad CPU new or used so I'm ok buying used there. Mostly the same with memory.
May 20, 20188 yr Author I ended up buying a working server pull motherboard so I will see how that goes.
