Including an excellent 850W power supply, a good case, SAS RAID |

controller and a graphics card? |

The 6276 is a more power hungry than a Xeon and runs at only 2.3GHz |

(though I don't know how that compares to the Xeon). Power consumption |
| 23 |
is an issue for me because electricity is way too expensive here. |

Asus doesn't seem to say anything about coreboot? |

It's good to have so many options to choose from :) Considering all |
| 33 |
this, is there a good reason to go for an FX-8350? |
