Hey, I'm in no rush on this one, but I'm planning on building a new  
Athlon AMD64 machine, It's primarily as a voip server and file  
storage box for home use and will have 8 SATA (possibly SATA-II)  
drives attached to a RAID 5 card, probably Highpoint (but i'm open on  
this).

I am wondering, what have people on this list built recently, within  
these bounds, I'm looking to choose a motherboard with one or two  
1000Base-T Ethernet ports (to keep PCI's free for other things, ISDN  
card, TV Tuner, etc...), if possible what has and hasn't worked, i'm  
not too worried about onboard HD controllers, etc.

Basically, before I buy I want to avoid any mistakes that people have  
already hit, I know there is a supported hardware list, but is their  
an advised hardware list for FreeBSD, especially with regard to RAID  
Cards and Motherboards.

Thanks for your help, Cian Hughes
