The ASUS WS C246M Pro is a micro-ATX option in the company's server/workstation lineup which supports 8th-gen LGA1151 Intel Core and Intel Xeon E-Series CPUs, as well as offering simultaneous triple display output (with DisplayPort, HDMI, and VGA outputs onboard), dual Intel Gigabit NICs, and support for ECC memory and Intel Optane.
"At the time of writing the ASUS WS C246M Pro motherboard is going for around $210 which is an affordable price point for small workstations. At the same time, it is significantly more costly than mITX consumer motherboards. One may argue that getting a consumer motherboard at a lower cost is worthwhile, but at the same time, we think that there is a segment of the market who may want the front to rear airflow design and ECC memory support. For VARs, the ability to support the Xeon E-2100 series helps to clearly segment their offerings and position them against corporate offerings from Dell, HP, and others."
