Going to attempt a motherboard replacement. Feeling like @sundog after realizing that the new one is nontrivially smaller and scheming to make it work, maybe.
Yeah, whoops. There're... several reasons that won't work. Decisions, decisions.
(I suspect the motherboard is probably the thing that's broken. Do I pick up the exact same one for ~$600? Do I write it all off (and sell off some parts) and get a new server? Do I try to find an old server that's compatible with the scads of RAM I have (and ideally, the processors too)? Marginal complication is that it's an AMD build, which isn't super popular in servers.)
servers, grumble
