GaryMaster Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I have been really happy with my UNRAID i3-530 build. I found this board today and wished I had waited! The i3-530 on this platform is a very powerful processor, but with VERY LOW power draw (mine pulls only 36W with disks spun down). MINI-ITX Form Factor 6x SATA2 + 1x eSATA Gigabit LAN On package video with HDMI and DVI (this would make a great HTPC also, supporting 1080p) Onboard 7.1 Audio, Optical S/PDIF IEEE 802.11n Wireless Built In http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?name=MB-H55-A-E&title=ZOTAC-H55ITX-A-E-Socket-1156-Intel-H55-DVI-HDMI-A-V-GbE-Mini-ITX-Motherboard&c=fr Use Code "GO4GOLD" for $15 Off! Update: Instead of linking above, search for part number H55ITX-A-E on Google products - you will find a link to eWiz there for $125. This will drop the delivered price another $6 to $110 +Shipping after the coupon code! Use Bing.com cashback to get another 3% rebate! Quote Link to comment

Romir Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I was expecting this board to cost more based on the Bit-Tech preview. Very nice! I'm glad I never upgraded my mini-itx server to one of the expensive 65w quads. Quote Link to comment
