Hi, I'm planning on building a simple server for home use. I want to use the server for storing a lot of data, which means lots of disks, therefore I have selected this MB. Asus P8B-E/4L I asked something earlier today, about connecting the HHD's, but someone said something about the mobo conflicting with the processor ( the i3 2120 ).
He said the following: Rest of the system looks good except the CPU and that board, you will have to add a video card as the motherboard does not support the CPU onboard graphics, see here: link
my reaction and question for this thread:
I'm confused, I always thought that when a board has connectors for monitors (vga, dvi, hdmi), it has a onboard video card. Isn't this the case here? I plan on accessing the server via rdp or vnc or something (not decided yet) so I only need to connect a monitor once, for the installation.
other thread here: Connecting 10 HHD's to Seasonic X-400 FL
ps. If someone knows of a (better) MB that has more than 10 sata connections (or a totally different solution) please let me know.
