I'm going to build a new workstation and since I'll only be running Dragonfly I
want to take this opportunity to get it right. I've been using laptops for

that I want to have ECC memory and I would love to have some kind of graphics
chipset that just works without too much hassle (since I'll mostly be running a
terminal in X).
Have a look at the supported hardware page:

For ECC support, you'll probably need to use a server board and add discrete
sound and graphics cards.
These two Supermicro boards are the only ones with ECC support + sound
onboard I know of:

There is also one Asus workstation board which *may* support ECC.
Thanks for the tip. I'll take a look at those Supermicro boards.
Cheers,
Jelle
