Supermicro got a new x79 board with 10G ethernet connection on-board

[alanchankw]

Supermicro has got a new x79 board out in Japan, with 10G ethernet nic on-board.

The board is called "X9SRH-7TF", an atx board withc602j , 2 pci-e 16x slot, 1 pci-e 4x slot, and two pci-slot. Besides, it has 8 sas2 ports via LSI 2308, and the dual 10g nic was from intel X540. The biggest issue of the board is there are no usb 3.0 support for this board.

The board is now available in Japan, with a price tag of 99,800 yen, which is around $1060. I don't know if the board is now available in North America.

This definitely isn't a first. If you poke around newegg there's at least one if not a few motherboards that have 10Gb nics onboard. And besides, this is ungodly expensive for what you're getting. You can pick up a baller x79 board for 300$ and a 10Gb nic for 350$ new, or about 150$ or less if you're willing to get used server hardware. Sorry to rain on your parade but this is nothing exciting imo /:

Buying a 10 Gig Mobo without a 10 Gig Switch is basically a waste of money, then I won't get into having a real internet line to actually use it in the real world, I can see if you want to stream/transfer data at home but if you are buying a 10 Gig Mobo you probably already have many Terabytes of fileserver space to actually put it to good use otherwise you might as well buy a rocket engine for your next car.
