You can see my approximate configuration as config 1181973.  I wish to see if Digital storm will make some custom changes to the system. The changes are as follows. 

1. Instead of a tower case I would like a 4U RackMount Case. My preference is the

ARK 4U-500-CA Black 4U Rackmount Case 3 External 5.25" Drive Bays

2.I would like the motherboard to be the

ASRock X99 WS-E/10G LGA 2011 Intel X99 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Extended ATX Intel Motherboard

3.I would like to have as my boot disk a

SAMSUNG XP941 Series MZHPU512HCGL-00004(0) M.2 512GB PCIe Gen2 5Gb/s up to 4 lanes MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) - OEM

connected to the M.2 port on the motherboard and ensure that operates at full speed (PCI-E x 4).   If the SATA ports are not configured right the speeds will drop.  Please see the motherboard manual.

Hi nofuture,

That is a wild system and you must have some special application. I think we would be interested in your planned use of the system?

I think your timing is off target for the new NVMe SSDs. I think you will need a PCIe-X4-3.0 for the SM-951 or the Intel 750 NVMe cards. There is also a Bios problem for these drives. Since DS has the Intel 750 listed maybe they have a Bios solution already. This is all new and possible fraught with problems. You may not be able to get the exact motherboard you want that will have an upgraded NVMe Bios. DS will take care of your special request for a fee. You can email John at [email protected].

Good luck with your system.

Frank

I have an Intel P3700 SSD on hand. I haven't had problems with it. Only reason I am not using it or this build is so I can still make the system quad SI.   That's why I was looking at M.2 devices.    I had a lot of trouble getting those to work with the asus x99 deluxe.   You are right about all of this being so new that it is fraught with problems.

This is ffor a high net worth individual who Is creating a video distribution system in his home.   over 30 4K large displays throughout the home with content streaming to all of them at simultaneously.   Right now most content is served from a 72 tb NAS which has a 10 gigabit network interface.   He will have fiber soon. Not sure if he will get the 1'gigabit service or the 10 gigabit.   When he gets he the fiber he will want streaming from live sources as well.   

This machine is for content creation and game playing all in 4k@60hz. The game playing itself is a form of content creation in terms of streaming his sessions.
