In regard to: [OpenIndiana-discuss] fishing for suggestions for new...:
I'm long overdue to build out a new x86/x64 system to run (primarily) OpenIndiana on, and I looking for comments and suggestions from others who have recently done the same.
I can't really help you for hardware suggestions, since what I'm using as my OI workstation is now a couple years old and was a complete Dell system, rather than just a motherboard like you're looking for. You've probably already thought of both of these things, but I'll mention them anyway: - watch out for motherboards that only have USB3. That currently won't work on OI, so be sure you find one that has some USB2 with a chip that's supported. - you mentioned graphics and I think you're on the right track, but do you care about audio? That can be as hard to get working as video, though non-functioning audio isn't always the show-stopper that non-functioning video would be. Good luck, and be sure you report back on what works (and anything that doesn't) once you find a system.
