barnonline Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 OS at time of building: unRAID 4.5 Plus CPU: Socket 1156 Core i3 I3-530 2.93 GHz Motherboard: Intel Server Board S3420GPV RAM: Kingston ValueRAM 1 x 2 GB Case: Sharkoon Rebel 9 Economy Edition Drive Cage(s): ICY DOCK MB455SPF-B (2) Power Supply: 650 Watt Corsair TX SATA Expansion Card(s): Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8, PCI-Express x1 Controller Card (Silicon Image SIL3132) Cables: Some no name breakout cables from ebay Fans: An extra old noname I had laying around Parity Drive: 2 TB Green EARS w/ jumper Data Drives: 2 TB Green EARS w/ jumper, 1 TB WD Greens EADS (3) Cache Drive: 250 GB Hitachi Total Drive Capacity: 5 TB Primary Use: Media storage for HTPC Likes: The ease of expanding (redundant) storage capacity. But I guess that's the whole point of unraid Dislikes: The difficulty of expanding useages beyond the core purpose of being a storage server (For a noob) Especially considering that every off the shelf home NAS has plenty of easy to use functionality Add Ons Used: unMenu, HandBrake Future Plans: Adding more datadrives, adding more functionality, hopefully through VMware, if I am capable of it. Boot (peak):? Idle (avg):? Active (avg):? Light use (avg):? Notice the complete lack of cable order... Quote Link to comment
queeg Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I do like the case. But where are Sharkoon cases available? Quote Link to comment
Rajahal Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Europe and Asia (rebranded as iCute). You can get a Sharkoon case shipped to North America, the cost outweighs the benefit in my opinion. Quote Link to comment
