I'd be interested in knowing too, as every micro-atx / mini-itx board I've seen so far has been unsuitable because they have no out of band management features (e.g. serial port with BIOS redirection, or IPMI, or full LOM). Never seen ECC RAM either but then that's unusual on any embedded sort of board and is not a dealbreaker. This won't help you because of your full height PCI-E requirement, but personally for low power low performance server requirements I've been really happy with the Soekris (http://www.soekris.com/) range of equipment, but they are not cheap. Your full height PCI-E requirement is odd as of course that rules out most rackmount cases too. Perhaps you would be best off buying a normal server motherboard and putting it in a conventional case with some low power components? Cheers, Andy -- http://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
