> They also have a real OOB mgmt system, which can be really helpful. You can find regular-PC-case-shaped motherboards that have real IPMI management baked in, but you do have to be willing to pay more for it, as they're usually (always?) found in "workstation" boards. However, you do need to do a bit of research to make sure the advertising claims match up to reality. Some of these "IPMI" ports require custom Windows-only software and don't let you remotely control much at all.
