<div dir="ltr">So this has been actually solved with 0 dollars. Kellan Jacobs donated some servers to noisebridge. One was a nice fancy Xeon E5405 with 8gb of ram and 4x 2tb hd's.

There were two reason I was suggesting the Supermicro+Xeon.<br>
* ECC RAM (would be more stable)<br>
* IPMI<br>
<br>
For a very long time we've had issues where things were broken for weeks, and nobody in the space seems capable of plugging in a VGA cable anymore. Having IPMI would let us debug boot issues from remote.<br>
<br>
I think most of the boards you suggested support VM, just want to make sure we keep VM support in any replacement option.<br>

Doh. I suck at mail. <br>
I was thinking something significantly cheaper and lower power. More like one of those mini it<br>
boards with 16 gigabytes of ram and spending more like 80 but on the board and processor. I<br>
saw some nice celery 1037u boards that have TV 2 cores and usb 3.0. They also have a pic<br>
express card. I have even seen some with dual ethernet. There are some similar AMD fusion<br>
boards too. The whole machine would hopefully have a TDP of under 100 watts even when<br>
loaded. What do you all think? Something<br>

The closet is clear, but I'm pretty sure Stallion has thrown off its<br>
mortal coil. The last time<br>
I poked at it, one of the NICs was bad, the graphics card was flaky, and<br>
(worst of all) the lvm<br>
volume for Pony is failing to mount.<br>
<br>
I think it's time we pour one out for our dead homies and throw in a<br>
low-power replacement.<br>
