Taking this full circle I thought I would come back and let everyone know what I ended up with.
A co-worker pointed me to this motherboard by supermicro: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813182851 I picked up 32 gig of ecc SO-DIMMs, a 500 gig ssd, 2 2TB spinning rust drives, a thermaltake case and a Corsair power supply. I am now building a nice RHV host that has 8 (Atom) processors and 32 gigs of RAM. Total cost was about $700. More expensive than 1 NUC, but less expensive than 2 and more functional I believe. I may have to re-thing the powersupply. It makes too much noise. Maybe it has a bad fan in it, but it makes too much noise for me. :) Kent On Fri, Aug 5, 2016 at 2:51 PM, Kent Perrier <[email protected]> wrote: > I find myself in need of some hardware that can run KVM so I can test/play > with some tech here at home.
