I would order the CX600 an hour before reading this. Too late to cancel order. Oh well...live and learn I guess. I ordered the TX series and I will RMA the other one... Thanks for saving me a headache though trying to troubleshoot!

Thanks for the response. What would be the benefit of one of those as opposed to something like the CORSAIR Builder Series CX600?

Alright I decided to pull the trigger on the i3/Supermicro board. What do I need to look for in terms of a powersupply for this board?

Hello all! As the title states I have two builds that I need help deciding between. The first is the X9SCM and i3 combo, which i understand is widely supported by Unraid. The second is a more "watered down" option. I was looking at the following Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157274 Processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103873 My question now is, with there being over a $200 difference in price what am i gaining/losing by choosing either build? It seems the money would be better spent on drives. However, I do not want to sacrifice performance. The server will initally consist of 3 total drives, however that may increase. It will be used for streaming one-two .mp4 movies across my lan. Thanks!!

What were you thinking price-wise?

Talk about missing the boat....I think i'm going to :'(
