I knew RAM prices were high but I didn't expect daylight robbery.

I also found out that the board only has 4 SATA ports. If it had 5 it would make migration so much easier. Now I will have to push my few TBs of storage over LAN.

You aren't going to use the PCIe slot anyway, right?

In my Intel Build I will certainly pick a dedicated GPU. I'm not a big fan of port extension cards blocking PCIE ports in general. If I need it I think I got a SATA extension lying around somewhere which I could use just for migration. But I could just do the migration over LAN to spare me the hassle. Not gonna make a difference if the transport takes 2 or 3 days.

Right now I'm looking for digital PSUs, but apparently nothing has been done in that field for the past 2 years. At least not in low power PSUs. So I'm kinda miffed at that.
