  1. I've been lurking here for a year or so now, but finally got some money together for the build. I'm currently deployed, so I have the time and patience to research my first unRAID box for when I get home to build it in a few months.  After seeing dirtysanchez's build, based off of spencer's, I knew I would be essentially be cloning their excellent builds.

     

    CPU: Intel Ivy Bridge Core i3-3220T Dual-Core Processor 2.8 Ghz 3MB Cache LGA 1155 35W

    Motherboard: ASUS P8H77-I Mini ITX Intel Motherboard

    RAM: Kingston HyperX 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)

    Case: LIAN LI PC-Q25B Black Aluminum Mini-ITX Tower

    Power Supply: Rosewill CAPSTONE Series CAPSTONE-450-M 450W ATX12V

    Cables: 5x StarTech Model SATA12 12" SATA Serial ATA Cable

    Flash Drive: SanDisk Cruzer Fit 16 GB USB Flash Drive

    Fans: None at this time, but I might upgrade like dirtysanchez did.

     

    So, I know I am shamelessly ripping them off, but, dang, these builds look great. This will be my first time building any sort of computer, much less a server. And while I have the opportunity to wait to get good deals, I don't really have a chance to get my hands messy yet.  Do y'all recommend any particular guide for getting started with building a SFF computer?  Any tips/tricks/things that everyone should know that I probably don't?  I've seen on a lot of the builds labels for the HDD's and understand that concept.  Anything else that I should be thinking of in terms of things like that?  Any mistakes that you wish you wouldn't have made the first time around?

     

    I'm missing out on these big box deals with the 4TB drives, but I'm hoping that they'll start to show up cheaper at Amazon soon...
