Sounds great, except for the price... a quick look at a price list shows that it's nearly 8 times that of the TX pro II! It won't be a high end server so that board would definitely be overkill. The serial port boot sounds good too - that's the only reason I need video on board, to configure the BIOS and debug any early boot problems...
