[OpenIndiana-discuss] Hardware advice on cheap homeserver

[alka]

I would prefer a mainboard based on an Intel serverchipset
with 4 better 8 GB ECC RAM together with an i3 (Xeon as an option then for napp-in-one)

If you look at http://www.supermicro.nl/products/motherboard/Xeon3000/#1150
you get such boards that are perfect for ZFS and widely used with OI and OmniOS.
