Asus Z10PE-D8 WS Schematic
If you want a powerful, dual CPU system for roles outside of the server room, I highly recommend this board! It has all the standard connectivity you'd expect on a desktop or workstation, like USB 3.0 and audio, which are so often missing from server-class hardware. It also has a ton of PCI-Express slots, allowing a wide range of add-on card configurations.
Note: As this is a server/workstation motherboard, some desktop features are not present: specifically, standby/sleep functionality is not guaranteed.
