Here are pics of my first unRAID server. I just transferred everything to a new case from an old Antec case that I had laying around. The OCD in me is still not happy with the sata cabling, a shipment of locking 90 degree sata cables from MonoPrice is currently overdue, but it will do for now.
Specs: Based closely on the budget box build
Case: Cooler Master Centurion 590
PSU: Antec 430W Earthwatts
Motherboard: Biostar A760g M2+
CPU: AMD Sempron 140
Memory: (2) DDR2 512 meg sticks that I had laying around
Flash: 1GB SanDisk Cruzer Micro
HD: (2) 2TB Green WD EADS
(1) 1TB Green WD EACS
(1) 1TB Green WD EADS
(3) 500MB 7200 RPM Seagate ST3500630AS (1 is used as a cache drive)
HD Cage: 1 Cooler Master 4-IN-3 STB-3T4-E3-GP in addition to the one cage that comes with the case
Fans: (2) 120mm NMB fans running at 5v in addition to the (1) rear 120mm that comes with the case and the (2) 120mm fans in the 4in3s
I am unsure what I will do when I need more storage, probably upgrade the 500s to 2TB drives, and follow that with an upgrade to the pro version and another 4in3 (at $20 it is cheap) or start putting in some 5in3 Norco cages.
The main reason I went and upgraded to the Centurion case is better cooling options and of course the (9) exposed 5 1/4" drive bays. I am happy with the cooling now, in the previous Antec case the drives operated in the upper 30s/lower 40s. With the new case and fans the temps run from 26 to about 36 on the 7200s when doing a parity check.
The system uses 68 watts at idle and 105 with all drives up and running.
And the horror that is the back that makes the main area possible
