Options for a home server mobo
Last response: in Motherboards
Hi all, having trouble finding options for this,
Looking at building a "silent as possible" AD server for home use. Will also run a few light apps
I'm thinking an AMD Athlon X2 3800+ 2.0Ghz CPU because of it's low power draw but reasonable processing power.
I'll be making my own SSD using SDHC cards
Just cant find a suitable mobo, desirables are...
Gigabit LAN (2 would be evenbetter but not needed)
low power need / heat output
4 or more memory slots
cheap
as it's a server, dont care about USB, sound, video outputs
Not that it probably makes much difference but, server will be rack mounted in a 4U case.
Oh, and any input on low noise output CPU coolers will be we'll received.

A 2.5" HDD pwned it.

Thanks for the concern but I'm not looking for performace, I'm looking for quiet and cheap. Given that I have spare SDHC cards a setup cost of £10 makes this the idea option for me.
Yes AM2 not 939, please correct me if I'm wrong but I see no bonus for a 939 setup over AM2 for my requirments.

^No. It's just that 939 is dead, and I was going to recommend you upgrade to AM2 if you did have a 939.
