I am wondering, what have people on this list built recently, within these bounds, I'm looking to choose a motherboard with one or two 1000Base-T Ethernet ports (to keep PCI's free for other things, ISDN card, TV Tuner, etc...), if possible what has and hasn't worked, i'm not too worried about onboard HD controllers, etc. Basically, before I buy I want to avoid any mistakes that people have already hit, I know there is a supported hardware list, but is their an advised hardware list for FreeBSD, especially with regard to RAID Cards and Motherboards.
