Mine is a "Poor Man's" special. * Asus A8N-SLI Premium Motherboard (4 Sata II ports on PCIe, 4 Sata I ports on PCI. Great board for unRAID as you can easliy get 17 ports on the PCIe bus & you get Gigabyte ethernet on the PCIe bus using the built-in nVidia. The only negative is you need a graphics card thus the reason I grade it an A instead of an A+) * Corsair TWINX2048-3200C2PT DDR 400 (PC 3200) 4GB (4 x 1GB) * AMD Athlon 64 4000+ 2.4GHZ 89W Single Core Processor (P/N ADA4000ASBOX) * Rosewill R6AR6-BK 0.8mm SECC 120mm Fan ATX Mid Tower Computer Case (Holds 13 Drives with the 2 Lian-Li EX-23NB Black Drive Bay Expansion/Cooling Kits) * PNY Attache 2G USB (running 4.5.b6 Pro) * Cosair CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply * ATI 3D LT Pro 8MB PCI Video Graphics Card w/Tv Out * 2 - SATA2 Serial ATA II PCI-Express 1-lane RAID Controller Card (Silicon Image SIL3132) * 2 - Adaptec 2240900-R PCI Express 4-lane 2.5 Gb/s SATA RAID 1430SA Kit RAID (1 on the PCIe x 4 slot & 1 on the 2nd SLI PCIe x 8 slot; giving 8 Sata II ports on the PCIe bus) * 2 - Lian-Li EX-23NB Black Drive Bay Expansion/Cooling Kit (fits 3 3.5" drives into 2 5.25" slots; giving me 6 drives in 4 bay slots with fans for cooling) * 6 - Seagate ST31500341AS 1.5T Sata II HD (1 Parity/5 Data) * 2 - Seagate ST31000340AS 1T Sata II HD (2 Data) * 3 - Samsung HD753LJ 750G Sata II HD (2 Data/1 Cache) * 2 - Asus Sata Brackets (Allows 2 Sata I/II Connections with Power on each bracket) Total Storage: 11.0TB.
