Hi guys. I have a z77 mother board lying around and would like to put it to good use in making a home server(first one!). Looking at my boards compatibility chart, apparently its compatible with Xeon processors. Upon further investigation I found a processor I THINK would be ideal for what I want to use it for-the Xeon E3-1220L v2. Heres a link-http://ark.intel.com/products/65735/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E3-1220L-v2-3M-Cache-2_30-GHz Supposedly only a 17 TDP! Sounds ideal for a home server, problem is I can't seem to find one anywhere.
Ive checked all the usual suspects(Tiger, Newegg, Microcenter, Amazon) and I'm wondering if anyone would know where to find one of these, if its as great as I think it would be(it's basically designed for micro/home servers), or if I should go with something lower powered. I basically want this thing to be a home cloud type system/NAS. Truth be told I think it's overkill but I like the future proof part of it plus the ultra low power consumption.
