    Hey, I'm in no rush on this one, but I'm planning on building a new
    Athlon AMD64 machine, It's primarily as a voip server and file
    storage box for home use and will have 8 SATA (possibly SATA-II)
    drives attached to a RAID 5 card, probably Highpoint (but i'm open on
    this).

    I am wondering, what have people on this list built recently, within
    these bounds, I'm looking to choose a motherboard with one or two
    1000Base-T Ethernet ports (to keep PCI's free for other things, ISDN
    card, TV Tuner, etc...), if possible what has and hasn't worked, i'm
    not too worried about onboard HD controllers, etc.

    Basically, before I buy I want to avoid any mistakes that people have
    already hit, I know there is a supported hardware list, but is their
    an advised hardware list for FreeBSD, especially with regard to RAID
    Cards and Motherboards.

    Thanks for your help, Cian Hughes
