    Can anyone recommend me a decent mini itx board- preferably for an i5 chip- which has both 4x sata and display port please?

    I have been asked to build a new NAS type enclosure and need something to do this with as I already have some stuff but not a motherboard. It is really to be used as a media based server with a huge itunes movie collection running itunes solely as I cant get a dedicated NAS to stream the DRM itunes files. Drives are currently 6 3.5" WD Reds, Seagate Archive drives- mixture of drives but would need to be all together in a JBOD type configuration or will have to play around with the library settings in itunes so it can see and use the individual drives

    Budget- low as possible but would spend as much as needed within reason!

    Thx

    Have you already got the chip, and if so, what is it?
