OK thanks. I'd hoped that "server motherboard" meant it would take ecc, but I think you are right. I have a new config: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157561 http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Core-Processor-3-8-BX80646I34370/dp/B00LV8TZLU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1436363499&sr=8-1&keywords=i3+4370 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=0B1-00KT-00023&cm_re=unbuffered_ecc-_-0B1-00KT-00023-_-Product I've been wondering if this power converter would work: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151099&cm_re=seasonic_platinum-_-17-151-099-_-Product I'm getting a micro atx case with 2 fans so hope it fits in that and is strong enough. I may add a spinning disk, but at first will just have an ssd. I found the motherboard first on Amazon and was having trouble finding it directly on newegg. I had kind of given up on finding it, but then I used https://duckduckgo.com and it found it on newegg. It was over $20 cheaper on newegg than amazon so I was happy that I'd not given up after that. -- Brian Ebenezer Enterprises - "And now let the weak say, 'I am strong' Let the poor say, 'I am rich because of what the L-rd has done for us.'" http://webEbenezer.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
