Motherboard suggestion - Supermicro X9SCL-F vs X10SCL


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I'm new here and I'm starting to think about building my first server. Anyone have any thoughts on either of these motherboards, I know the X9SCL-F is older, but is it worth the $100 extra for the X10SCL?

As I'm still new to the server world, my primary usage will be file storage and 1 plex media stream either transcoding or streaming, I can either hook it up to my samsung smart tv and plex app or stream via my HTPC powered by windows.

 

Budget, looking to spend as little as possible but I'd also like a good quality system. I'm recycling my PSU (800W) and case already, so just looking at CPU, MB, RAM.

 

Thank you.
