Haha, the whole setup?

I may of missed it but what is the energy usage of this beast?

Cannot find any UK release date

How energy efficient could this possible be with 18x drives including 1x 2.5" cache drive?

Any reason other than bulk discount? Cannot buy these in the UK

SATA's what I meant, doh! Any motherboard/CPU suggestions? While I check my mountain of spare parts.. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

Ok, what drive cages do people prefer at the moment? What would you recommend and do they connect by SAS or IDE?

Could it be quiet though? I'm in the UK but I found the case for £65 + P&P

Is their any case that can hold 17+ HDD's? Without huge expense Or I could do just the 2tb hard drives which would be twelve

Any ideas on price and UK availability?

Ah damn, I was certain that I it was mini ITX

The Asrock only has one PCI slot (Have two expansion cards, although one won't be in use as I'll get another IBM M1050) according to: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/ASRock-FM2A85X-ITX-Motherboard/1735/8 but has 7 SATA ports... Offical Specs: http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?cat=Specifications&Model=FM2A85X-ITX But the MSI board has three PCI slots, 6 SATA ports. The MSI board looks as though their is a lot of room to expand due to the PCI ports. Offical Specs: http://uk.msi.com/product/mb/FM2-A85XMA-E35.html#?div=Detail What do you think? I'm hoping to buy this tonight Update Would a 200MHz "bonus" make a big enough difference to Unraid for add-ons etc

Would the CPU be fine for running multiple add-ons such as NZB, rsync etc or would you advise that I get the fastest CPU possible for this board?

Is the AMD A4 5300 CPU any good for a NAS running addons?

FM2A85X-ITX is doing it for me at the moment with seven SATA ports! But I'm not sure if I have a CPU to fit! I got loads of spare RAM etc so that'll be no problem, hopefully I'll have a heatsink somewhere...

Any advice? I am really hoping to order these parts tonight/tomorrow?

Is their any benefits of dual 1Gbps over a single 1Gbps port? Any suggestions for a motherboard for me? These boards look ok? ASRock FM2A85X-ITX FM2 AMD A85X - I'd have to buy new RAM and maybe a bigger ITX case; are their any big ones? 10 drive+ or should I get a bigger case? ASUS P8H77-I - Looks ok.

Yes as I don't want to change case etc yet. Completely headless like I am now

My bad, both typo's! Any suggestions on new board/cpu?

Hi guys, I need to upgrade my board/CPU to a board that has a PCI 2.0 slot for my new IBM M1050. My current setup is: 12Tb File Server: Fractal Design Array R2, Intel D510MO / D510 Intel MN10, 4Gb DDR2 800Mhz If possible I would like to stay with Intel. No budget in mind, but I want to purchase this new motherboard/CPU by Tuesday. The new setup must be able to run addons... Thank you

Damn, looks like I need a new setup! Or a new board, any suggestions? Current setup: 12Tb File Server: Fractal Design Array R2, Intel D510MO / D510 Intel MN10, 4Gb DDR2. If I can get away with just updating the motherboard, I would prefer to do so....

I meant will it fit in the Intel D510MO / D510 Intel MN10

Will the board fit in this: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/tips0740.html

All done is their a command to check the SAS address after step 13.
