Realised near the end that the black cap comes off plug on the motherboard so I could plug in the full 8pin EATX connector...

FIN.
 
P6T7 because we've built an identical server before with this board and it is nice and stable with 24gigs. Didn't want to take a risk with some other board. It also has a SAS controller that may come in handy at a later date.

It will be a VM host running Hyper-V.

The AMD mobo came with the chassis. It is a dual socket Opteron board made by Tyan. Very expensive in their day. We've no use for it, so will be sticking it on the bay.
