hi
I am planing to upgrade by current rig for 2013. The current rig has served me since 2009 and is AMD based.
I have to fit in the following gear which I already own...
- PCIe-X8: SAS2008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 (for a 2nd 8-disk RAID (future))
- PCIe-x1: USB 3.0 Host Controller
- PCI: Tiger3XX Modem/ISDN (voip card for asterix)
- existing 4disk RAID (on mother board SATAII based) 4x2TB
- A system disk (SATA 2.5/SSD may be) (have lots of spare 2.5HDD's)
- A optical drive (SATA DVDRW)
System will sit in garrage, so graphics is not really needed, but if it can provide any acceleration for ffmpeg based encoding on debian/ubuntu 64 then it would be a plus.
System will be ON 24/7, will run 2-4 KVM's on a dom0. The dom0 will also be used as a
file server and a video compression/encoding device occasionally. never installed asterix, but plan to run it over KVM if possible, else on dom0.
Has to be very reliable, and rock solid in stability, and low power consumtion when not doing video compression.
An online review suggesst the Ivy-Bridge Xeons to be a good value for performance+efficiency
E3-1265LV2 is especially good due to low power, dont know what motherboard I should go for...
Supermicro seems to have lots of gotcha's with bios updates etc...
Any recomendations for a unix/linux friendly mobo for above jobs...
