HP Microserver Gen8 compatibility list

As a big fan of the HP Microserver Gen8 (I own 3 of them in two locations) I compiled my own list of compatible hardware that I am using or used in building the servers.
I have to thank the good fan forums that I always consult previous of buying new hardware for my HP Microservers Gen8.
