So I've tried that, following a tutorial http://www.wikihow.com/Slipstream-Your-SATA-Drivers-Into-a-Windows-XP-Installation-CD-Using-nLite using nLite to load the drivers from the Virtio ISO to my WinXP 32bit ISO, and it still says no hard drive found. At a complete loss here, fellas.

You too need the virtio drivers I mentioned previously. Now that I look through my XML, I noticed that the cdrom for virtio-win-0.1-100.iso isn't even listed. I absolutely know I selected the iso when I created the VM from the template. Seems like it just didn't get added to the XML. EDIT: I tried Chrome instead of Safari to create the VM from the template. Looks like the virtio iso is included in the XML. But I'm still seeing the hard disk not found error. There is no option to load drivers, only F3 to reboot. I can press F6 upon boot for loading 3rd party SCSI or RAID, but it when I press "S" to specify the the adapters, it errors and says there isn't a floppy drive attached to load the drivers. XML while the VM is running: <domain type='kvm' id='2'> <name>winxpVM</name> <uuid>0b3e191b-b057-e3ab-0d51-d751b8baf445</uuid> <memory unit='KiB'>524288</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>524288</currentMemory> <vcpu placement='static'>1</vcpu> <resource> <partition>/machine</partition> </resource> <os> <type arch='i686' machine='pc-i440fx-2.1'>hvm</type> <boot dev='cdrom'/> <boot dev='hd'/> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> <pae/> </features> <clock offset='localtime'> <timer name='hypervclock' present='yes'/> <timer name='hpet' present='no'/> </clock> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/> <source file='/mnt/cache/apps/kvm/winxpVM/winxpVM.qcow2'/> <backingStore/> <target dev='hda' bus='virtio'/> <alias name='virtio-disk0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/mnt/cache/apps/kvm/winxpsp3.iso'/> <backingStore/> <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <alias name='ide0-1-0'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='1' target='0' unit='0'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/mnt/cache/apps/kvm/virtio-win-0.1-100.iso'/> <backingStore/> <target dev='hdd' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <alias name='ide0-1-1'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='1' target='0' unit='1'/> </disk> <controller type='usb' index='0'> <alias name='usb0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x2'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='0' model='pci-root'> <alias name='pci.0'/> </controller> <controller type='ide' index='0'> <alias name='ide0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x1'/> </controller> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:c8:73:7a'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <target dev='vnet0'/> <model type='virtio'/> <alias name='net0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> <serial type='pty'> <source path='/dev/pts/1'/> <target port='0'/> <alias name='serial0'/> </serial> <console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/1'> <source path='/dev/pts/1'/> <target type='serial' port='0'/> <alias name='serial0'/> </console> <input type='tablet' bus='usb'> <alias name='input0'/> </input> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> <input type='keyboard' bus='ps2'/> <graphics type='vnc' port='5900' autoport='yes' websocket='5700' listen='0.0.0.0'> <listen type='address' address='0.0.0.0'/> </graphics> <video> <model type='vmvga' vram='16384' heads='1'/> <alias name='video0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </video> <memballoon model='virtio'> <alias name='balloon0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </memballoon> </devices> </domain> EDIT2: So it's a problem with the XP installer only looking for a floppy. Any idea on how to trick it into thinking that ISO is a floppy? I say this because I just tested Windows 10 Preview. It booted like a charm and was able to find the hard drive after I loaded the driver from WIN8/AMD64.

Getting the no hard disks installed error as well. Using a WinXP SP3 32bit ISO. I'd like to get XP installed so I can run BlueIris.

Had to rebuild some stuff recently and I'm just now getting around to reinstalling Pyload. I'm running unRAID 5.0.5 and getting the error below: You are not running unRAID version 5.0 so this package can not be installed exit EDIT: Commented out the version check in the .conf file. All installed fine.

Haven't had any heat issues with mine. My server is in the TV cabinet and is currently showing (idle) temperature of 33C. CPU is the i3-3220T. As far as cable management, I have the extra leads from my Corsair CX430 stored above the PSU. Cable management really isn't an issue with that PSU. I don't see any reason to recommend against that particular model..

Sweet build! Man that case is a fingerprint magnet!

All around great build! I love the unopened stack of boxes picture. I like the motherboard tray on your Q25B with the cutout in the middle; mine doesn't have that if I recall. Nice idea of using the Low Voltage RAM! I had no idea that Plex doesn't gain anything transcoding with an i3 CPU. Sounds like the Celeron G1620 is a decent CPU to save a buck. The SFF PSU idea seems cool, but you really can't beat a $20 power supply.

Just installed and tested with some files. Works great for my application. I can finally stop running jdownloader on my main computer and offload work to the server instead! I'll still have to micromanage the downloads as I did with jdownloader, but it's no more involved than if I did it on my main computer! Thanks for the package!

Nice tests and numbers! I need to try this soon.

While I think it's smart to be looking into cool features, I think you're trying to put too many eggs in the basket. If you're the tinkerer type, I can understand, but you're dealing with a server here. ie- Set it up and leave it alone, especially in an environment dealing with data storage. But that's just me PS- I do like the idea of RAID0 raptors. But why not just use a really fast single SSD?

Why watercooling?

Looks like a fantastic build, dirtysanchez! And familiar too. Glad my thread/build could be of help to you!

Trying to figure this out myself. I found the appropriate one to load.. Do I just add: modprobe it87 force_id=0x8721 to my go script?

Hope you don't plan on doing any video transcoding (a la Plex Media Server)

Nice to see another Q25B build!

XBMC "just works" for me. I have an Acer Revo 1600 with OpenELEC installed (one of the eden betas). Quite stable, especially after getting SAB/SB/CP off that box and onto my newly built unRAID server. Other than that, its always made me happy. Never lagged or stuttered with video. The XBMC box is used for: x264 video ESPN3 Youtube AirPlay In the past I used XBMCfreaks LiveCDs which worked equally well out of the box. I now use OpenELEC because it boots so quickly (even though I rarely turn off my xbmc box )

Every time you reboot unRAID, you are essentially re-installing the OS and all your add-ons. unRAID runs from a RAMdisk (not from the flash drive or HDDs). This means that upon boot, your server needs to copy all of the relevant data from the flash drive into the RAMdisk. So the read speed of the flash drive and the speed of the USB port are the two biggest factors. The speed of the RAM isn't really a factor because RAM is so much faster than even the fastest USB flash drive. I doubt the CPU is much of a factor either. Interesting. The same exact flash drive gave me the results I posted above. Wonder if the USB port on my build is reverting from usb2.0 to something slower.

Wondering the same thing. I have a Dell PowerEdge SC1430 that loads bzimage/bzroot in about 18 seconds. However, the unraid box I'm currently building takes about 3 minutes to load bzimage/bzroot. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=18872.0 What's the deal? Is this CPU related? Just curious, really.

Popped open the case of my new 3tb freeagent goflex last night. Inside is a 3TB Seagate ST3000DM001.
