Assuming cost is not a= n issue, wouldn't intel Avoton based board be good for this?

hi,

mine is the older model which is not passively cooled, a fan is needed
(not to hand so i have no part numbers).

it has a 40mm cpu fan but that is all. the fan died (got very noisy) and i<= br class=3D"m_300236373045425486gmail_msg"> replaced it but that was the only unreliable part of the server.
