I haven't found one yet. My hardware project was put on hold.
But, looking at my old hardware, that I'm trying to replace: it seems
that with only a few exceptions it's based on Supermicro motherboards.
All my old hardware was not hand-built, but I had system builders put
them together.
So, it seems that at least some time ago, experienced system builders
were using Supermicro motherboards. So, when I pick this up that's where
I'll be looking at.
I used supermicro for a long time. I stopped when I
almost lost my shirt on a project where the motherboard
would not shutdown when it was too cold (45F). Happened
on Windows 10 local install and on a Xfce Fedora Live USB.
