-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey, I'm in no rush on this one, but I'm planning on building a new Athlon AMD64 machine, It's primarily as a voip server and file storage box for home use and will have 8 SATA (possibly SATA-II) drives attached to a RAID 5 card, probably Highpoint (but i'm open on this). 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. Thanks for your help, Cian Hughes -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (Darwin) iD8DBQFDijlHaVVfOlCF0TQRAmt5AJ91t0eqg7sH1hECCvQ9JbHN03VlnQCeNJi3 NE74VX0k7Z1HGa/+MCtk+lA= =i8Hd -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
