  I guess it depends on the requirements a lot. Are you guys set on using ECC RAM and microATX mobo? It would be much cheaper to use some sort of gaming cpu + DDR4 non-ecc RAM. For example, microatx mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157544 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157... some non-ecc DDR4 ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231796&cm_re=ddr4-_-20-231-796-_-Product http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231... and a cpu: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117402&cm_re=5820k-_-19-117-402-_-Product http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117...

    For a use like this EEC RAM is worth the money.

      Alright, even with ECC and much faster DDR4 ram: http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/ct16g4rfd4213 http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/ct16g4rfd4213 and motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157545 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157...

        You might have missed the fact that the motherboard they use has built-in dual 10G Ethernet: http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/C600/X9SRH-7TF.cfm http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/C600/X9S... Once you account for the cost of a 10G NIC and the fact that having it integrated frees up another expansion slot, I'd say it's a pretty good deal. Also, I'm not sure if there are any non-Xeon processors that support ECC.

          An extreme example of a non-Xeon that supports ECC: Atom C2750 :)
