Thanks JRD680, My son appreciated the comment greatly. He named the Server Rubix Cube. (yes I know cable management could be a bit better but nothing interferes (most importantly) and the cube kinda stays outta sight) He is very proud of his first computer build This is an HTPC/Media server/VM machine/Personal Cloud/ and so many other things. (Audio outputs drive studio monitors, Sounds amazing:-)) Just love the flexibility of Unraid. By the Way, "EVERYTHING" just worked on its initial power up, could not have been more pleased with that. The processor is an AMD 7860K with Stock cooler with provides more that enough oomph to transcode and do what I need it to without gobbling up too much energy. Beats the pants off of my old ReadyNas NV+ v2 Extremely happy with this build and it has not crashed or hiccupped or anything since building. By the way the UPS is the Just released APC BX1500M. Gonna do a review on it but gotta break out the Oscope, and meters to fully test. (need time) Thanks and have a great one

Same Case I am using. :-) was very easy to work with and configure. currently only have 6 of my 10 HDDs in the racks. (Other 4 are still in use in an older ReadyNAs) When I planned my server build out, I knew I wanted 8-10 HDDs and 2 SSDs in a not so large unobtrusive case, That is exactly what this holds. From reading other postings it seems like many people are using this very case.

Went to Micro Center and looked at their returned Items shelf and it was loaded with Corsair Power supplies and TP Link products, Did my homework on various power supplies and decided that the EVGA SuperNOVA 650 Watt P2 ATX 12V Power Supply fit my need perfectly. (plus it was on sale at the time for $89.00 USD) If it was not for the sale I probably would have picked up the Seasonic USA Platinum 660 Watts ATX Modular Power Supply, I am a very firm believer in that, high quality power supplies will prolong equipment life. I went low cost in a lot of my build but refused to do that with the power supply.

Figured Id share as well. This is my Son building his first server ever. Here is the list of parts https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kRnpJV I can post some of the completed project pictures when I get back home if anyone is interested. I really just thought it was a cool father son build.

Loving the HAL 9000 banner. Thx Joseph

Agreed and they will price match online sales if you are in the store. Just know what you want prior to going there.
