I stumbled on this interesting LGA1200 motherboard: Dell Motherboard - Intel W580 - LGA1200 - DDR4 SDRAM NDYHG. Starting a thread to capture more information.
What makes this board initially interesting is that it can be found from $45-80 in pristine condition (used). It’s mATX. It has many features you’d want for a router build, NAS build, and/or small compute server.
It has the W580 chipset, which is the same server board chipset used in the SuperMicro x12sca-5f. This chipset supports 10th, 11th (with BIOS to be verified) and W-Xeon chips. It comes with 3 M2 slots alongside ~20 lanes of PCIe slot bandwidth. And it’s mATX.
These boards are used in the Dell Precision 3650 Workstations.
They support standard 24-pin ATX PSUs with 8 pin extra CPU power. And have standard headers via the Service Manual:
