To all,
looking for some advice on some cheap motherboard to replace my aging home lab machine(s). I'm looking to fit these into some SuperMicro 1U (14" deep) cases to replace my current Pentium III servers (older than dirt and just about as fast). I'm listing the general requirements (best case), but would appreciate any advice on something that you feel would suffice (note: Supermicro says it will support a board with the following dimensions:
-14" Mini 1U chassis support for max. motherboard size - 12" x 9.5" ATX:
1) Cheap (hopefully motherboard and CPU < $150)
2) Tilted DIMM sockets to fit in 1U
3) SATA definately preferred (2)
4) Can handle/work with a low profile CPU fan/heatsink
5) On-board video a plus (but can always shove a cheap vid card in for the installs)
6) AMD processor line is 1st choice (right now running Pent III 750's)
7) Gigabit ethernet would be wonderful (and 2 of them I'd be in hog heaven)
8) 2 GB mem max would work, more is better
My thanks in advance for any advice and help
