Some people like to run big RAID arrays that require additional cards, if you need more than 6 drives, or some special RAID array that you can't find onboard and you need a video card, mITX is not your friend.

I can play 1080p blu-ray images quite happily at a variety of transcoded resolutions on a C2750 (running freenas with plex in a Jail). CPU usage gets pretty high though:

May not work on the C2550.

Is the 705% number mean the 8 cores are running at ~90% or is there another number I'm supposed to be looking at? Got a sweet deal on this board, just waiting on drives, and was hoping to stream to multiple people. I can always have a separate machine handle that, so no big deal.

Well, haha it does look like it is just barely powerful enough for that. However it might not be enough for me though... I am planning on building a NAS/Plex server with both being equally important and I don't care enough to spend the money for a Xeon, so I might honestly sacrifice the ECC for processor oomph.

You can get ECC support with i3 as well.

Another thread pointed out that Cyrorig is getting into the business of making cases, and they are teasing some interesting looking mini-itx cases here. That taku looks cool and I may end up getting it, and if you wanted a trash can but didn't want to pay apple, nows your chance!

Well, poo poo, now I'm a Cryorig fanboy. BRB, throwing away all my Noctua crap.
