I need to buy a motherboard for my storage server build. I have a 24 bay Supermicro case and 24GBs of 1066 ECC RAM (6 x 4GB) already. I was looking at this board:

I need at least 4 PCIe slots, 3 HBAs currently and possibly an additional NIC card and a fifth slot would be nice for future expansion.
I'm not married to Intel over AMD. Is this a good board? Is there something better?
If this is a good board can you recommend a CPU?
