Hello all. I was hoping one of you server types would have a suggestion for a motherboard that would be suitable for use in a server.
Up until now I've built all my machines (including servers) using "off-the-shelf" hardware purchased from CBIT and it has worked great for me. I've been doing it this way for a long time and I've never had any significant problems.
Now I'm looking to build another box and I'm wondering what a good choice of hardware would be.
This box will have at least 1G of RAM and I would like it to have 4 SATA hard drives doing some kind of software RAID.
I'd _like_ dual processors but I'm not willing to quadruple the price of the system just to get it which is also the reason why I've never considered purchasing any of the ready made "server" systems from the likes of Dell, Sun, or IBM. I just don't have the budget for it.
I'm really interested in opinions from other sever admins as to what you use for your boxes.
Thanks.
