Thanks for keeping the updates flowing. I am starting my build based on your setup. Are you still on a single NIC?

Hi there, glad the info was helpful :)
Yes I am currently still on 1 NIC, I have ordered another so will stick that in the box when it arrives :D

Can you tell me if the onboard SATA controller works. I don't have a nas and cannot afford one at this time. I am having a rough time finding a board.

Thanks

yea - actually you are a nice guy :D - I really appreciate the help.. The board looks good (except for the 16gb limit). Just need to verify whether the controllers work out of the box or if I will need to hack a little.

Thanks

Except? Thats the highest capacity RAM on a desktop board I could find, have you found others with higher capacity?

Without breaking through the £200 mark (i.e server board) I couldnt find any higher!
