ATX board with ECC and remote access?

[_Rick_]

Looking to replace my server board.

Does anyone know of a board that fits more or less into an ATX case, while also giving me the option to use ECC-UDIMMs and KVMoIP à la AMT 7/8?

The only boards that I have actually seen to support AMT are the Intel Q77 boards (possibly the other Q77 boards as well, but that's not documented) which are only micro-ATX, and don't have explicit ECC support.

While the server chipsets (like the C216 on the ASUS P8C-WS and the C606 on the GB X79S-UP5) support the feature, it's usually not supported by the actual board, due to lack of LM-class NICs and BIOS support...

Alos open to AMD alternatives, if such a thing exists.

This is the first board I found that does most of what I need. IEEE1394 is the only thing I would have to add.

Hopefully it will show up in the retail channel eventually. Awesome little board for a home automation server.

My Suggestion is to just special order it.

Supermicro does a fair amount of special orders. Just go to a decent sized local computer shop, ask if the deal with Supermicro or at least regularly deal with a Distributor like Ingram Micro, Tech Data, D&H, Synnex which are authorized distributors and get them to order it for you. They may be willing to drop ship it direct to you. Its a rather specialty product so I don't blame most companies for not placing it on their websites.

Ah, I'm in Europe.
Will keep looking for it to appear on skinflint/geizhals, and also ask around at the local brick-and-mortars to see if one of them has dealings with one of the SM distributors. Almost went there today, but got side-tracked in the bike shop 🙂

Thanks for the suggestion!
