Want to replace my C2D E4300 that i have been using as my home server.
Looking for a decent replacement, trying to stay around $100 or less, prolly buying used. Already have the memory / drives, etc just need CPU + Mobo.
Will be running mainly as a NAS running Server 2012 Essentials. I MIGHT use it later as an HTPC as well in the future, so having HDMI + Audio out would be nice.
Mainly i want enough memory slots so i can stuff it with memory and 4+ sata ports since i already have a parity setup in Storage Spaces with 3 drives. I will be running a general purpose VM Linux as well.
I was debating between the Llano and I3.
Sugestions?
Thanks!
