Did you find the thread with the pyLoad install? It works great and has been updated a couple of times since that discussion. My guide is here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=10883.msg121782#msg121782 I'd recommend installing python and unrar from the unmenu package manager and downloading the latest version of pyLoad from the website. Other than that its all good. There's even an extension for chrome to send links from your desktop to your unraid box. If you've got an android phone you can get access from there too with the pyload app. I'll answer any questions in the other thread as I guess this is now going to be closed/locked

Love those Icydocks. I removed the standard fan and holder on mine and used velcro dots to attach a better fan. Worth considering Nice build

If you look at the first internal shot (top down) you'll see the original power supply and the Icydock. There's a reasonable amount of clearance. When I cut the hole for the 120mm fan, the original PSU had to go and was replaced with a Shuttle item. Spent ages trying to find one that would fit under the Icydock at the front of the case and be narrow enough to let me use the right angle power cord and route the cables on the other side.

Current Specs OS at time of building: unRAID 4.7 Plus CPU: Intel G620 2.60Ghz LGA1155 Motherboard: Asus P8H67-I B3 Mini-ITX RAM: 4 GB Kingston DDR3 1066 Case: Super custom Morex Venus Drive Cage(s): ICY DOCK MB455SPF-B Power Supply: Shuttle/Enhance ENP-2320 200w SATA Expansion Card(s): Intel PRO/1000 Cables: Super Low profile SATA cables + Custom braided power cables Fans: Noctua NF-P12 (1) and NF-R8 (1) Heatsink: Modified Scythe Katana 3 with custom shroud Parity Drive: 2TB Samsung HD204UI (with firmware update) Data Drives: 2TB Hitachi CoolSpin 5K3000, 1TB Seagate ST31000520AS, 1TB Seagate ST31000340AS, 1TB Hitachi HDS72101 Cache Drive: None Total Drive Capacity: 5 Drives Primary Use: Data storage, media streaming, backup, download box Likes: Very quiet, runs cool, compact Dislikes: Limited space for expansion Add Ons Used: unMenu, Transmission, Sickbeard, Rsync Future Plans: Add SSD cache drive, install SNAP Boot (peak): 133w All drives idle (avg): 40w All drive spinning (avg): 63w Transcoding (avg): 80w unDAT2011 served me well for 9months or so but with more and more HD media being streamed round the house (and an increasing amount over the internet via Subsonic) the AMD E-350 APU was really starting to struggle. I'm an AMD fan so I tried to find a solution that would allow me to stick with them but with the strict/unusual set of requirements (m-itx, 5-6 sata, low power, gigabit, powerful cpu) I couldn't find anything suitable. If I'm honest I had difficulty finding anything! Being m-itx immediately restricts your choice but the main problem was the number of SATA port and/or the network controller. Eventually I happened across the Asus P8H67-I. If you google this board most e-tailers will wrongly show you either the picture of, or the specs of, the P8H67-I PRO/DELUXE. It took me weeks to realise there was a vanilla P8H67-I with just the specs I wanted (bar the network controller). Having found the motherboard it was just a case of ordering an Intel chip to suit, Intel network card and a suitable heatsink. The CPU and net card were easy. The Intel PRO/1000 is the only choice really and since the SandyBridge Pentiums are i3s without hyperthreading I bagged the low power G620. The heatsink was a little more tricky. Since space in unDAT has always been at a premium I initially looked for something low-profile. There's plenty to choose from and all more than capable of handling the G620 but this is Project unDAT2012..........why take the easy option I took a bit of a gamble with the Katana but as you'll see below it worked out just fine! That's enough waffling from me, you came here for pictures! Classic box shots Here's the mobo in the case with the Katana HSF in place but not fixed. The Katana is bent at 30° from vertical to allow some airflow to move over the motherboard components. Nice idea but here its not so welcome. Close up shot showing the clash between the cooling fins and the cables in the back of the Icy Dock. So with the most gentle of persuasion, the 30° Katana became a straight(-ish!) Rapier If you research online for tips on bending heatpipes, you'll find very little advice.......essentially 1) Don't do it, they'll break or 2) Go slowly or expect 1. For the record I covered the fins and base with some fabric (to protect my hand from cuts) then applied smooth, even pressure to the fins. When I felt the heatpipes give a little, I stopped, checked the new angle then applied more pressure. No heating, no special tools, just luck! This shot shows the other reason for straightening the Katana, I can ditch the supplied fan and use some of the cool airflow from the rear fan. Before moving on I wanted to say that the build quality of the Katana is superb. It feels solid, the cooling fins are well manufactured, the mounting options are simple and the fan super quiet (although not as quiet as no fan). Glamour shot of the G620. At this point I built the system and memtest-ed it for 18hrs or so. It passed without issue. This photo is rather poor but it just about demonstrates the next problem. The existing data and power cables connected to the Icy Dock protruded too far out and wouldn't allow me to push the 'Dock fully into the case. I'd anticipated this so had a few bits on order. Pass-thru sata connectors and braiding. Add a couple of molex connectors and voila! Ahem, didn't quite work first time Weak connections identified and fixed The custom power cable fitted in the case, very low profile. You'll also notice the the super skinny, short SATA cables. More SATA cables, here routed along the base of the Katana. The connectors on these cables are the shortest I've ever seen. They were fairly pricey but great quality. The more observant reader will have spotted this in its finished form just a few photos above but don't scroll up, the next shot shows it in all its glory. I had access to a laser cutter so took the opportunity to build a little shroud to help direct some of the rear fans airflow through the heatsink (the logo is me testing the engraving capabilities of the Epilog Mini). Here it is in place. My brief testing shows that it drops temperatures by a massive 1°C While we're on the subject of laser cutting acrylic, I also cut a replacement fan bracket. With most of the interior sorted it was just a case of adding a few UCD finishing touches. New feet..... ......and aluminium thumb screws So there you have it, unDAT2012.............to be continued

For the final set mods I added Noctua fans, a Fractal Design fan controller and Akasa locking SATA cables. unDAT2011 stripped and catching some rays The Fractal fan controller in a PCI slot. You can see the plastic cable wrap that was applied to all the cable s in the case to keep it all nice and tidy. The Locking cables are slightly longer than the no name cables I had previously, so I removed the front USB, audio connections to allow the PSU to sit right at the front of the case. This gave the extra room required to comfortably fit the cables. Some internal shots showing the wrapped and zip-tied cables keeping the airflow as unobstructed as possible. The only thing missing is a shot of the NF-R8 fan on the back of the IcyDock. This was mounted with some velcro and connected to the fan controller. I'll add it later.

Previous Specs OS at time of building: unRAID 4.7 Plus CPU: Zacate E350 1.6GHZ APU Motherboard: Sapphire Pure Mini Fusion E350 mITX RAM: 4 GB Kingston DDR3 1066 Case: Super custom Morex Venus Drive Cage(s): ICY DOCK MB455SPF-B Power Supply: Shuttle/Enhance ENP-2320 200w SATA Expansion Card(s): Nil Cables: Akasa locking SATA Cables (5) Fans: Originally BitFenix 120mm (1), later Noctua NF-P12 (1) and NF-R8 (1) Parity Drive: 2TB Samsung HD204UI (with firmware update) Data Drives: 2TB Hitachi CoolSpin 5K3000, 1TB Seagate ST31000520AS, 1TB Seagate ST31000340AS, 1TB Hitachi HDS72101 Cache Drive: None Total Drive Capacity: 5 Drives Primary Use: Data storage, media streaming, backup, download box Likes: Very quiet, runs cool, compact Dislikes: Limited space for expansion Add Ons Used: unMenu, Transmission, Sickbeard, Rsync Future Plans: Add more data drives, add SSD cache drive, install SNAP Boot (peak): 126w All drives idle (avg): 40w All drive spinning (avg): 72w Transcoding (avg): 70w So top of the mod list was a rear mounted 120mm fan. Mashie did a great job fabricating custom internal rails to create space for the shuttle PSU but since I didn’t plan to use the space at the front of the case (or have the skillz necessary) I planned to put the PSU there. Using a hand nibbler a cut out the back of the case to house the fan and a small hole on the far right hand edge for the power connector. The connector came from an old broken PSU. I soldered a right angled power cord to it, insulated it with plenty of heatshrink and ran the cable round to the bottom front left of the case (see pics below). At this stage I also drilled out a standoff on the bottom of the case that was used to mount a hard drive bracket. The standoff prevented the new Shuttle PSU sitting in the right position so it had to go. Next I created a few cardboard templates for the rear panel that would hold the 120mm fan. Once I was happy with the size I marked up a 200 x 200 x 0.9mm aluminium sheet and started cutting. Being so thin the aluminium was easy to work but as I removed more of the bulk it quickly lost its stiffness. I’m planning to rework this part in 1.5-2.0mm at a later date. Once the panel was cut I sandwiched it between a fan guard and the 120mm BitFenix Spectre. I ordered the motherboard as soon as it was available in the UK and fitted it to the case for testing. For testing the PSU sat freely at the front of the case but later it was secured with double sided tape. The cord from the right angle connector runs under the front mounted USB ports then up the other side and back to the rear mounted power connector. This picture is here to illustrate how close the sata cables were to the PSU. I say "were" because as you will see later this was modified I sourced 2 Fractal design 40mm fans to replace the stock items on the APU heatsink and in the PSU. I shortened the cables to match the length of the original items and keep the installation neat. While the Fractal fans were quieter the pitch is higher and therefore more noticeable. This isn’t a massive problem since the server sits in a spare room. The box was put back together and ran like this for about 6weeks. I sourced a few more parts then did a few more mods................

OK, first and foremost, this project was inspired by Mashie’s Udat/Udat2010 (http://www.mashie.org/casemods/udat1.html and http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1496390). While my mods are not identical they do draw heavily on the work and ideas from Mashie. Check out his site and forum posts. Now I’ve got the blatant plagiarism disclaimer out the way, on with the build log. Project unDAT2011 is based on a Morex Venus with IcyDock 5in3. It ran for about a year with the original spec as outlined below before I decided to upgrade to AMD Fusion and complete some Mashie style case mods. Original Specs OS at time of building: unRAID 4.6 Pro CPU: Atom 230 1.6ghz Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-GC230D mITX RAM: 1 GB Kingston DDR2 533 (single low profile stick) Case: Custom Morex Venus Drive Cage(s): ICY DOCK MB455SPF-B Power Supply: Enhance ENP-2222D SATA Expansion Card(s): 4 port SATA PCI card Cables: SATA Cables (4) Fans: Coolermaster 80mm LED (in IcyBox) Parity Drive: 2 TB Samsung HD204UI (with firmware update) Data Drives: 1 TB Seagate ST31000520AS, 1 TB Seagate ST31000340AS, 1 TB Hitachi HDS72101 Cache Drive: None Total Drive Capacity: 5 Drives Primary Use: Data storage, media streaming other computers Likes: Compact Dislikes: Not very quiet, Limited space for expansion Add Ons Used: unMenu, Transmission, MediaTomb External: As you can see from the photos its quite a handsome little machine (please excuse the fingerprints ). The IcyDock is, IMHO, one of the best looking 5in3s available which works well with modest fascia of the Morex Venus. Of course the case originally sported 2 x 5.25” and 1 x 3.5” bays so a little work was done to accommodate the IcyDock. I swapped out the standard fan in the IcyDock for a more powerful Coolermaster item as the hard drives started to get a little toasty. Inevitably with the increased cooling came increased noise. The performance from the single core Atom was always adequate for streaming media and download duties but it was when I installed “Mediatomb” that the lonely CPU really started to struggle. Internal: The internals were pretty neat, not the best cable management ever but I’ve seen worse If you look closely you’ll notice the unused SATA port on the expansion card is rather close to the IcyDock. By using a cable with a short connector it was possible to use that port but given that all 5 drive bays were connected via other ports it didn’t cause too much of a problem. Now time for the new specs and log of the case mods......

Looking for some help. My linux skills aren't good enough to patch minidlna with this .diff file http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3074948&group_id=243163&atid=1121518 Hoping it will wrap mkv as an avi for playback in PS3. Any help much appreciated

I use a bash script but passing commands over telnet is very interesting!

Installed this afternoon and streaming across LAN, over web to friend and on 3G to my Android phone. Thanks for making this so easy to get up and running

Managed to get the package to reinstall on reboot by opening the .tzx, modifying the .conf to give a valid media path then recompressed. Inserted the revised version test code and changed the MD5 in minidlna-unmenu-package.conf. Copied over to /boot/packages and rebooted server. minidlna is reinstalled on reboot. Added the code below to GO script in /boot/config to run at boot #mindlna cd /usr/sbin nohup ./minidlna -f /boot/packages/minidlna.conf -d & The only issue I have now is on restart minidlna declares.... ....and starts to rebuild it. Is there any way to get it to save and rescan on reboot?

Just installed on my Atom powered 4.7 Pro machine. Had a warning about different versions (Installed, but version is different. Current version='directory' expected '1.0.19') but seems to be running fine. Currently scanning my music folders and saving DB to flash drive. Tested working with WMP11 over LAN connection and Skifta on Android over Wifi Nice addition to the unRAID community

Starting to see some availability in the UK. Just ordered the Sapphire Pure Fusion Mini. I'll create a build log once i've finished my mods

Boards hitting the review sites now. Should be in stores in a couple of weeks

Bit of pimping..... http://www.eteknix.com/previews/amd-fusion-mini-itx-preview-667/ Take a look around while you're there

Done a quick tidy up, added official specs and new pics. The ASUS is around €150, Sapphire Pure Fusion €129 Price wise competing with ION power mini-ITX boards but with much improved speed and features. Having said that, I probably won't switch till they drop below €100 for a 5 port SATA board

Added some more boards to the first post

Finally an alternative to the Atom for the low power mini-itx guys. The E350 "APU" looks quick and the chipset offers lots of fast i/o connections.
