I'm building my first WHS 2011. I've never built a server before or used Xeon Processors so I need a little help. I'd like to use the Xeon E3 1235 processors due to what I've read about it and the integrated GPU. Since it's going to be a headless server I don't want to have to install a graphics card unless I have to. I was looking at the Supermicro microATX MB's but all of them state it's not recommended to be used with Xeon CPU's that have integrated GPU's. What might my other options be?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

If it was me I would order one of the new V2 processors that came out a few days ago that are based on Ivy Bridge. So you would want the E31235 V2. I went a different direction on the motherboard and decided to go with a z77 chipset desktop board instead of a server board. For me the only difference is the server boards will support ECC memory which for me is not a big deal and not worth double the price.
