Sorry for answering so late! It has been on my todo list for almost a year now, and I have lost the detailed notes that I had taken, so I won't give you much information. Overall I'm very happy with this computer. I've struggled a bit with installing things, partly because I use Debian...

Hiya :) The computer is up and running ! I don't have the time today nor tomorrow, but will post photos and a feedback on the build possibly on Thursday. I still haven't installed the OS (Debian). I'm wondering whether there's anything to gain by using a "small" version of Debian rather than...

Hi there :) i had ordered the wrong type of RAM (DIMM / SoDIMM), and the cable that goes from the front of the case (for the Power LED, and others) was not long enough to reach the PINs on this mobo, so i had to order a longer one. Plus, i have been quite busy with other things. I will...

I received it and it doesn't. I just ordered some MX4 thermal compound.

Also, should i get some thermal paste ?

Ah, it's raging ! The RAM that i bought is DIMM, while this mobo only take SODIMM... Hopefully i'll get a refund, or manage to sell it back on Amazon or something :-/ We'll have to wait a bit more to see this computer mounted.

Thanks :) One possibly important point to watch out for : their disk was performing badly at first, because they hadn't installed the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver. If i bought it from them (here : http://aleutia.com/relia-fanless-industrial-server), it would have cost me £1000...

Thank you. I don't play games and don't have a file server. Basically, it will just be Debian or Windows 7 running on each of them, with 2 browsers opened, and... that should pretty much be it. Sometimes a spreadsheet too. I guess, i'll try it when i've build the computer :)

If i ran 8 VMs with 4 cores, is it best to run 2 on each core, or to run 8 on all cores ?

I will take that route then, thank you everyone :)

"Load balancing gateway" on a pfSense routeur, that's the solution then. I found "load balancing routeurs" on internet, like this one. And i don't need to buy anything special for my computer right now. Which is what i needed to know ! Thank you ! No need for several antennas, for dual band...

I place complex cross-market matched bets. And i'm doing it by hand. If my connection goes down at the wrong moment, i can lose large amounts of money. I'm also going to try and write a program to automate it with betting exchanges, with the same issue : when one connection goes down i need a...

And one about running more than 1 VM per core, here : http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1039375220&posted=1#post1039375220 where someone answered : "You can share physical cores with multiple VMs...else people would be very limited on consolidation. It all depends on how active those VMs...

Wow, that's great to hear, thank you :D
