Seems like a really good deal, beware of slightly odd layout. Square ILM
Info:
Just as an aside, how do these compare to supermicro boards? It seems they have the value equation sorted.
I mean, mostly this is a deal for CA, but I guess they do ship to the US.
They are OK boards, they have a funky layout so it can be a bit of an issue especially for longer expansion cards.

I live in Toronto and just bought one of these. Thanks for the tip! I’m going to put it in a Define 7 XL case with 12 NAS HDDs.
I’m trying to figure out what memory I should buy to go with it:
16GB (4x4GB) Hynix 2Rx4 PC3-10600R 1333MHz DDR3 ECC
or
16GB (4x4GB) Hynix 2Rx8 PC3-10600R 1333MHz DDR3 ECC
The difference is the 2Rx4 vs. the 2Rx8.
I’ve been Googling and got a (very) basic understanding of the differences. But I’m looking in the manual for the motherboard and it’s not saying anything about compatibility.
@JDM_WAAAT is one better than the other? Are they both compatible? I don’t mind the cost either way.
I bought that board just over a month ago and had quite a difficult time getting it to run with the RAM I have. As I mentioned over here, it seems to prefer PC3L DIMMs (at least out of the stuff I have):
