Hi All,
I'm building a new server for my (small small) company, we just need it for communal data storage and access, so HDD capacity is my primary concern. I just wanted to throw this out there to see if anyone has any suggestions:
It seems like SB is the same price as lynnfield so I suppose I should just go with the latest generation. It's too bad they don't have Intel HD on the P67 chipset, then I could forgo the graphics card. I looked into getting an H67 but all the boards I could find with sufficient SATA were microATX, plus the extra PCIe slots that tend to come on the P67 boards might be nice for future expansion (SATA cards and such)
