I'm building an Openfiler box out of parts from my current Openfiler box and I need a motherboard to build it around.
I'm planning on using some current parts:
SUPERMICRO CSE-M35T-1B Black 5 Bay Hot-Swapable SATA HDD Enclosure
4 Western Digital Caviar Hard Drives
SYBA SY-PEX40008 PCI Express SATA II Controller Card
I'm thinking about adding a second 5-in-3 bay, four more drives and a second SATA controller card for 8 drives in RAID-10 (in the OS).
I need a motherboard that can drive this storage adequately. Ideally it will have two PCIe 1x slots, integrated video, PS/2 Mouse and Keyboard ports and dual NICs. 64-bit ability would be a plus, but not necessary.
It can be a new motherboard/process/ram setup or an older board from eBay.
Help?
