I'm trying to purchase a C236 motherboard,
- need two LAN cards, VT-d
- M.2 2280 PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe
- IGP (mb or cpu) is sufficient
- running 24x7

- Supermicro X11SAE-M , 210 €
my (two port :) KVM needs VGA, PS/2, which this board doesn't have
DVI to VGA converter = expensive active device or just something low cost passive?

- Intel S1200SPL, 220 €
M.2 (SATA, 2242) doesn't fit

- MSI C236A, 165 €
single LAN port, (MSI general warranty is just 12 months ?)

- Fujitsu D3417-B, 160 €
single LAN port, sold in only one/two EU online stores => possibly higher margin/lower value

Fujitsu forums do seem quite lonely https://forum.ts.fujitsu.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=181

- or should I just drop M.2 2280 requirement ( Samsung 950 Pro ), go for previous SATA version

I apologize for taking your time,
thank you for any help
