Thanks, this seems like a good upgrade route from my current Avoton-based FreeNAS (8 cores, fanless, 2.4ghz, 64GB of ECC DDR3, 16 PCI-E v2 lanes, VT-x) http://ark.intel.com/m/products/77987/Intel-Atom-Processor-C...

Asrock Rack made some nice boards with onboard IPMI, dual Intel gigabit NICs, and 8x SATA. Kind of pricey but still under $500 for the board back in 2013. Been a great board: http://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=C2...

Here's their Xeon D stuff: http://www.asrockrack.com/general/products.asp#Server

Denverton is the successor to Avoton; 16 cores, 16 lanes of PCI-E v3, 10GbE, DDR4: http://www.fudzilla.com/news/processors/39156-intel-s-denver...

Haven't heard anything about it for months, though.
