edwilloughby Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Can I get some comments on this Tiger Direct combo as a good starting point. Will have 6 drives to start with http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=808302&Sku=B69-0393 I don't think I have found anything on this MSI MB here. I may have missed it. Thanks Ed Link to comment
Ford Prefect Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 ...mobo appears to be fitted with a RealTek 8111E NIC. See the section under "Hardware known to NOT work" in the wiki: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Hardware_Compatibility The deal gives no info what kind of PSU (maker, model) is fitted inside the case. No. 1 feature would be a single 12V rail...no info on that either. Link to comment
edwilloughby Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 So I guess no one has knowledge of this MB.. I know the PS is a no go! Ed Link to comment

edwilloughby Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Thanks, I geathered as much after re-reading his post. Still looking fo some sort of combo from Tiger that will work with Unraid and up to 10 or so drives. Again thanks Ed Link to comment
Rajahal Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Honestly, I wouldn't hold out for a tiger combo, they tend to not be very good. They are always missing one crucial thing. Most of the Tiger combos are intended as gaming computers. An ideal unRAID combo would feature a motherboard well known to be compatible with unRAID, a low power CPU, no video card, budget RAM, a highly efficient PSU, and a case with lots of expandability. Best of lucking finding one, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Link to comment
