SM X9SRL is out - LGA2011, 4x PCIex8 + 3x PCIex4 slots

...see: http://www.supermicro.nl/products/motherboard/Xeon/C600/X9SRL-F.cfm

The first serverboard with a single socket and more than 4 usable ports for us hooked to virtualization 

...it is quite expensive...around twice the price of the X9SCM around here...

Wow that is a really nice board - would be perfect for a 24+ drive with esxi build somewhere down the track.

Super Biiz has it for $295.99 which is better than Amazon's third party seller of 499.99.  So it is getting more reasonable here already.

...price-portals list it from EUR305 where I live (including VAT that is).

Don't know if it will accept a 2011 socket I7 (i7-3820 is the one with vt-d)...these start from EUR265 here.

The smallest XEON with vt-d is the E5-2603 (quad-core but no HT, compared to the i7) and starts from EUR191.

The E5-2620 is a six-core with HT and sells for EUR375 here.

...still only some expensive choices to make.

I have sort of been waiting for this guy. we are looking at getting one for work to play with.

This would make a good board for a massive single system ESXi or as a head for a multi box unraid/storage farm.

Drool. Glad I've waited to build my home esxi system :-)

Anyone has the X9SRL-F already in use? Any feedback? Does it allow unRAID to software control fan-speed?

320 at newegg.ca well that sucks I just got my X9-iif board.
