[coreboot] Libre KCMA-D8's are going for around $260 on newegg

[Taiidan at gmx.com]

This is a great chance to pick up one of the last and best owner 
controlled x86 boards for much less than the usual price ($350) and MSRP 
($315).

Compatable with Qubes 4.0!

Supports IOMMU for graphics! (so you can play video games in a VM)


CPU's cost around $10-50 and 16GB DDR3 ECC RAM is $30


Recommended Accessories:

ASMB4-iKVM (BMC Module, required for the upcoming libre OpenBMC port for 
KGPE-D16/KCMA-D8 the asus boards)

TPM (Coreboot supports an owner controlled core root of trust which is 
more secure than otherwise)


Note:

128GB RAM Max

You will have to get a graphics card if you want decent video, the 
onboard chip only supports 1280x768 and is quite slow - AMD is 
reccomended for better virtualization (see nvidia code 43 "bug" when you 
try to attach their cards to a VM) and linux drivers that are almost 
open source and don't suck unlike nvidia

43xx CPU's require microcode updates for secure operation


Reccomended CPU's:

4284 (Works securely without microcode updates)

4365EE (40W, for a low power build)

4386 (equivalent to AMD FX 8310)
