Thx for the quick response! I changed the PSU above to the Corsair. Question I have now is, is there a mobo that does allow drive spin down and at least 4 SATAII drives? Reason I ask is maybe there can be some type of savings to help on price. I will be building an HTPC at the same time so this would help greatly. Thx, Bob Edit: Just saw your thread on this mobo here. This at least half the battle if 6 ports use the SMART feature as I would be then only needing to buy 1 - 4port PCI-e card and add later as needed.

Hi everyone. I am new to this forum and new to UnRaid. I am looking to get started soon and looking for anyone that has used the motherboard/setup I am wanting to use, the mobo has 10 SATAII ports and 1 PATA which I can use as the cache drive. Here are my thoughts: Mobo - GIGABYTE GA-MA790FXT-UD5P AM3 DDR3 AMD 790FX ATX AMD Motherboard Case - LIAN LI PC-A17B Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case PSU - CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W Memory - Crucial 1GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1066 (2 pcs for 2gb total) HDD Bays - SUPERMICRO CSE-M35T-1B Black 5 Bay Hot-Swapable SATA HDD Enclosure (2 pcs for 10 SATAII drives total) CPU - AMD Sempron 140 Sargas 2.7GHz Socket AM3 45W Single-Core Processor Total Cost $723.00 Edit: Changed PSU Thanks, Bob
