Ok so the deal is I have some old parts I want to use up so ive got the fractal design array case on order and looking for an appropriate mITX board to go with it. Aim is to build a small file server.

My needs are as follows:
PCI-E x8 minimum to support my raid card Areca Arc 1210.
Socket 775 to use an old core 2 duo i have lying around.
DDR2 to use up my spare ram.

The best ive found so far is the ZOTAC G41ITX-A-E at about roughly £60. Do you reckon I can find anything cheaper or is this the best I can do. Specs of it can be seen here http://www.zotacusa.com/zotac-g41itx-a-e-lga-775-mini-itx-wifi-intel-motherboard.html
 
Ok thanks, does that mean i need the graphics drivers available when i install windows then? USB doesnt really matter either as once running i wont have any keyboard, mouse or screen attached. Plan just to remote login to it when i need to play about with it.
 
think its just windows 7 having issues with it? i was going to be using either server 03 or server 08 on it anyway but thanks for the heads up ill install the disk drivers when installing windows just to be safe.
