  1. Hello! I'm going to build my first unRAID Plus rig and I would appreciate your thoughts and comments. Motherboard Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L (rev. 2.x) http://gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3134 Well, it's one of the cheapest mobo I can buy in my neck of the woods and from what I've read it looks like a rock-solid motherboard (at least for normal desktop PCs). It's impossible to find rev. 1.x (the one with Realtek NIC) but Atheros AR8131 is supported in the latest UnRAID version, right? Processor Intel Celeron E3300 Cool, power-efficient, cheapest available Power Supply Corsair VX 450W (CMPSU-450VX) http://www.corsair.com/products/vx/default.aspx Single +12V rail (max. load: 33A), proven manufacturer, cool, quiet, 80 Plus certified. How many drives it can handle? I'm not going to use more than 6 in foreseeable future, but beyond that – who knows? ;-) Disks 3 x WD20EARS (1 for parity and 2 for data) 1 x WD10EARS (data) 1 x Samsung Spinpoint F3 500GB 7200rpm HD502HJ (cache) I know I should buy them from different sellers. RAM 2 GB DDR2 800MHz RAM in one stick – is it enough? I want to install an add-on that keeps file listings in RAM so XBMC won't spin up all drives whenever I open it. PCI-Express 1x card with two SATAII ports based on Silicon Image Sil3132 chipset. Please, tell me what do you think about it? :-)
