Well, if I were in the market looking for a new home server build (which
I'm not, at least not yet), the deal breaker for me would not be so much
the price, as the presence of fully-featured IPKVM with remote media.
That would enable me to freely experiment with new ZFS development
without having to worry about getting my machine into a non-bootable
state (especially when I'm thousands of miles away from it).

I can definitely see a market for this board.

Cheers,
