Options for ECC on ITX?

I've set myself a challenge of building a ZFS server in an SFF PC - and have immediately run into the first hurdle, which is finding a decent, inexpensive ITX board which supports ECC memory. As I'm not planning on having multiple encodes or anything too workload intensive, the motherboard is probably going to dictate my CPU choice, rather than the other way around, and with PC Part Picker being a bit gaming-centric I'm having a challenge finding anything which looks reasonable. Anyone got any ideas?

an AM4 socket motherboard with a Ryzen CPU... Ryzen supports ECC memory out of the gate.

ZFS doesn't require ECC.

 

If you want ECC anyway: AFAIK Ryzen supports ECC. The harder problem is, the motherboard/BIOS also as to support it. I think ASRock is the best option there, but i don't know of any specific MBs supporting it.
