Thanks for the tip, will definitely take a closer look at the raid card as you suggested! Nice choice on that future case, I'm still seriously considering replacing the Fractal XL with one (though the extra cost is a bit of a hit, plus I already have the extra drive cage from another fractal case that they say will fit in the XL R2)

Trying to decide on the components for my new VM server (esxi with unraid guest and ubuntu running Sabnzbd/SB/CP etc) Motherboard -Supermicro - X10SAE CPU -Intel Xeon E3 1220 v3 Raid Controller: Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 RAM: 8GB Kingston DDR3 ECC KVR13E9/8I (x2) Case: Fractal XL R2 with the extra drive cage Power supply: Antec TPQ-850 850W Continuous Power (have this already from another build) If anyone has any better suggestions on what components would better suit my needs (preferably from www.scorptec.com.au as i'll be purchasing the bulk of the goods from there) Thanks all
