  1. Thanks! I'm very interested too! For weeks I tried to find ITX-Board with what I could use my AOC-SASLP-MV8's using Supermicro PCIe x16 to 2xPCIe x8 riser but was unable to find confirmation of compatibility. So to make things interesting I'm going with Full-ATX instead. Imagine this... in the case ROTATED vertically to the back wall. (Got the pakage today so naturally did a quick mockup right away... It seems plausible) Got Pentium G620 for now. That was the simplest one available for 1155. Hopefully I have something to show tomorrow.
  2. Hi to All fellow UnRAIDers! I have a slightly modded CM-690II as a desktop-PC and I love it for the looks and the great ventilation. So no surprise that I have been toying with the possibility to cram 22 drives into a similar case for my first full UnRaid setup. Would look nice side-by-side by my desk. Been running a 6-drive "test"server for a couple of months now and it's been great. With few weeks of "design" and parts hoarding I feel I'm ready (or mad enough) for the challenge. The parts I have gathered so far: CPU: Pentium G620 Motherboard: AsRock Z77 Pro3 RAM: Kingston Valueram 2x 1GB DDR3 Power Supply: CORSAIR AX850 Case: Cooler Master CM-690II White Hard Drive Bays: a bunch of Cooler Master HDD-Brackets and cages Expansion Card: Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 x2 Hard Drives: 10x2TB Seagate LP & WD Green (for starters) USB Drive: Kingston DataTraveler G2 4GB x2 UnRaid License: UnRaid Pro License x2 There's my Desktop computer and the new case I will be hacking into. Desktop started it's life as a full-white case too as I got it well before CM released the B&W version to the public. Anyways like the all-white interior and rear much more than the black on the B&W. And here is some of the stuff I'll be stuffing into the case. Big THANKS to RUUD in the CM-Store.eu for finding me those two 3-drive cages to build onto. So this is the rough idea... Two stacks of 11 drives and 6x140mm fans. (3 stacked at the front and other 3 in between the two HDD-stacks. Will be removing the 5,25" cage of course and hacking into the case quite a lot too. Hopefully I'll be getting a MB for a test fitting later this week. As you can imagine it will be a quite a tight squeeze. Have some ideas but have to wait for the MB first to see what's what. Personally I'm very interested to see if I can pull this thing off? Wish me luck! -s.
  3. Atleast Windows 7 disk manager can see the disk and if you try to change it you get a notification that the disk has been formated by some other OS.
  4. Motherboard with 2xPCIe (x16+x8) and 8-10 SATA-ports. =26xSATA My AsRoick Fatal1ty P67 Professional has 10x SATA and PCIe x16+x8+x4+x1+x1 in 1155 but not graphics. (It's the desktop, not the server) I have Graphics on one PCIe and revodrive on another (as a boot drive) so might work with two SAS-cards?
  5. AsRock Z68 Extreme7 Gen3 ? Works atleast with 3 graphics cards. "three VGA cards at x16 / x8 / x8" http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=Z68%20Extreme7%20Gen3&cat=Specifications There must be lots of others gaming motherboards that do that. Just have to check that they work at full speed with other cards than graphics too.
  6. Lazy persons way to get a list of one share is to open it in a web browser. "file://///tower/Movies/" and just cut and paste. Needs some cleaning up though, but works ok.
  7. What I ment to say is that the UK-site helps you to navigate through the german site since the layout is similar. I don't speak german eiher so I have a second window open in the UK-Amazon for reference.
  8. I received my package form ZAR yesterday. Everything was perfect and the packaging was more than adequate. ps. Google translate is your friend + UK and DE Amazons are identical... that helps too.
  9. The first difference that I can find is that LX V2 has PCIe 2.0
  10. Hi! Just ordered mine from amazon.de / ZAR Systems (delivered to Finland) They stated 5-10 day for availability and it shipped on day 6. They're on the way so can't comment on the delivery/reliability yet. -T.
