I just bought a consumer AMD B850 board that supports ECC when I built my NAS in early October. I also got 32GB of ECC memory for $180 which is a distant memory today lol.
The remote KVM options from HP and Dell and whatnot are usually so useless they might as well not exist except from remote power up / down, so I don't really care about that.
I wanted to say the same thing. Having to walk to the closet to turn it on/off or having to move it to the living room in order to debug it is an inconvenience, but data corruption caused by lack of ECC is a catastrophe.
