Thanks for the reply jaslion, Let me clarify a few things, The system I am looking to build will be installed in a retail environment with 70 to 40 IP cameras. CCTV recording will be handled by a server onsite so no need for storage beyond OS drive with space to save clips of incidents. Not many cameras will be streamed 24/7, 4 at a time would be the max so wouldn't need discrete graphics. (Also a GPU would be another point of failure.) My real interest is finding a reliable motherboard with IPMI or alternative. Remote access at bios level is a life saver and saves travel costs and man hours

Budget (including currency): Country: Europe Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: CCTV Viewing Client Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Hi All, Long time lurker, first post. I am looking for advice on new workstation builds for work, the main use for these workstation is viewing and playback of CCTV. The system will be a viewing client for CCTV on 24/7, needs to be reliable and have remote management like vPro or IPMI. What my normal build looks like: i7 7700 16GB Ram 500GB OS drive NVME or Sata NVME I will take supermicro recommendations but really want to move away from them, nothing but problems the last year or so with boards failing and bad bios updates. Also any advice on NVME vs Sata SSDs for reliability? Thanks, Aaron
