Yeah for this plan I needed with 8 onboard SATA or another 8 port SATA
controller, so I opted just to get two of the PCI-X ones.
The Supermicro 5-in-3's don't have a fan alarm so you could remove it
or find a quieter fan. I think most of them have quite noisy fans (the
main goal for this besides l
I was told here:

That I'd need at least 40amps - and this PSU has a 12V rail with 60amps...

Oh, also I kind of doubt that a 750W power supply will spin 16 disks
up reliably. I have 10 in mine with a 600W supply, and it's

The onboard SATA ports work on the PDSME+. One of these days I'm
going to pick up a couple of Supermicro's 5-in-3 enclosures for mine:

Good news - I got snv_98 up without a hitch. So far, so good.
Onboard video works great (well, console. Haven't used X11)
Top NIC works great (e1000g) - haven't tried the second NIC
Did not try the onboard SATA
Two Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 PCI-X's working well
Here's the specifics:
- LIAN LI PC-V2
There's plenty of 8 port, either full 8 or 6+2 combinations etc.
Anyway I went with a Supermicro PDSME+ which appears to work well
according to the HCL, and bought two of the AOC-SAT2-MV8's and will
just use those. It's actually being delivered today...

You may need an add-on SATA card. I haven't come across any 8 port motherboards.
As far as chipsets are concerned, take a look at something with the
Intel X38 chipset. It's the only one of the desktop chipsets that
supports ECC ram. Coincidentally, it's also the chipset used in the
Sun Ultra 24 wo
Yeah, I was scoping an Intel board - only one I could find had 8 SATA.
However, couldn't find much info on support for those either. For this
machine I need 16 ports and want 8 onboard SATA. It shouldn't be
difficult, but I don't want to order something, find out it's not
compatible, and have to r
