Looking for a gaming/WS/server board

[TheGleaner]

I am currently looking for a motherboard, similar to the Asus X99-WS/IPMI, that is compatible with Intel i7s.

Im also wanting the ikvm monitoring feature, as like on the above board, But as far as i can tell, the above board is discontinued.

OR would it simiply be easier to buy a ikvm/ipmi add-on card?

yes and yes... and the way i understand is with the asus ikvm is you, somewhat simply, plug the module into the bmc, but i cant seem to find it on the motherboard im looking at so thats what started this thread.
