Is this drive ok to use? http://www.scan.co.uk/products/2tb-seagate-st2000dl003-barracuda-green-sata-6gb-s-5900rpm-64mb-cache-8ms-ncq-oem Thanks

Looks good. What components have you got in it? Cheers

Anybody used one of these cases for unRAID? I am looking for a SFF server but the options are limited so wanted to use this case as it is small (ish) and I like the looks. What components did you use in it? Thanks in advance

Hi again Can you use the supplied power supply in this case as it isn't single rail? I think it has two 12v supplies, one rated at 14A and the other at 16A. Cheers

Cheers for the info guys. Youmhave been very informative and helpful. I have done a bit more reading (Crikey there's soooo much info on here to digest ). I think I may need a dual core athlon as one of the add ons I would like to use is air video so I can stream to my iPad and the wife's iPhone. Would I need 4GB of RAM for this? Cheers

Sorry about my lack of clarity, I did mean the Zotac GF6100-E-E A couple more questions if you don't mind. Raj mentions about upgrading to a dual core processor when I need more processing power. As I initially plan to put three dives in when would the Sempron start to struggle? Would it be when I have the full set of six drives? Next question is, from other small builds 2GB of RAM should be enough but is it best to put in one 2GB stick or two 1GB sticks? Last one, does this mobo enable me to mount the USB drive inside the case either directly to the mobo or using the internal motherboard header. As you can probably tell I have little or no knowledge of motherboards

Cheers Raj. So that motherboard and processor will fit into the Fractal Array R2 case? Cheers

Ah, Ok. If I bought a card that would give me another four SATA ports what would be a good mobocracy that would fit nicely into this case? Cheers

Would the following motherboar be any better, or would it potentially pose the same probs? http://www.scan.co.uk/products/zotac-nm10-f-e-intel-atom-d525-(18ghz)-ddr2-667-800-mini-dtx-motherboard Cheers

The only reason that I have picked that board is, it is the only one I can find in the mini itx/DTX form factor that is reasonably priced and has the six SATA ports for all the drive I will eventually put in it. Cheers

Hi Been doing a bit of research over the last week or so and have decided on the components below. Do they look ok for building a NAS box with no conflicts? Case: Fractal R2 array Motherboard/CPU: Zotac Intel Atom D510 1.66GHz dual core mini DTX RAM: 2GB Kingston DDR3 1333MHz HDD: 1 x Samsung F4 ecogreen 2TB and 2 x Seagate barracuda green 2 TB 3.5 inch drives Flash drive: San Disk Cruzer Micro 2GB Lycom internal motherboard header unRAID software with free licence Thanks for any advice you can give. Cheers
