Okay maybe I am missing on something, but where do i get the actual plugin? I have lmsensors up and running.

Stock fans have 3-pin connectors. Hdd cage has two connectors for the front case fans, but those seems to provide constant 12v to the fans, so they run at full full speed. With all three fans running full speed you can definitely hear them, but but they are not especially loud. I am using pci bracket fan controller to control all three fans and with around 75% speed they are almost silent and still provide more than enough airflow to keep hdd's cool (six in my case). E: I have covered the inner side of the case completely with Akasa sound absorbing mat, including the inside of the front door, so that will most likely lower the noise coming from the case.

I have the case up and running. Amazing case, running 4x4tb and 2x2tb and the temperatures stay low and the case is really silent (i am controlling the case fan speeds manually). I also applied akasa sound absorbing mat inside the case. Hdd cages also works like they should, easy to use and solid construction. What i really like is the positive air pressure inside the case. With all the incoming air coming throught dust filter, there is no dust buildup inside the case...

According to the manufacturer's website this is a dual-rail power supply, meaning some of those 300W will not be available to hard drives. Single-rail PSUs are recommended for unRAID. Silverstone has a couple of SFX units that many of us are using. Thanks for the info, i'll have to see how the be quiet! one works out. This is going to be a low power system so i think it should be ok. With out the hdd's power consumption should be around 15-20w and under load no more than ~50w. Hdd's take ~5w each, so total consumption is still pretty low.

I'm building ESXi box based on DS380. Parts list: - Silverstone DS380 - be quiet! SFX POWER 2 300W - Jetway NF9G-QM77 - Core i7 3632qm laptop CPU - 16GB SO-DIMM DDR3 - LSI SAS 9211-8i 8-Port 6Gb/s SAS/SATA PCI-e SAS controller (VT-D passthrough to ESXi) - 4 x Seagate Barracuda XT ST4000DM000 4TB (more to come...) - 2 x SSD for datastore etc Going to be used for Pfsense, Unraid, Security Onion (IDS) and various Linux based servers. Case should arrive in few days, got lucky with a local vendor that got a hold of one DS380...
