Nasp Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Next week finally i will build my first unRaid Server... Already Builded I am finding it difficult to find specific parts, especially the motherboard! Essentially because i want to build a green server... no more than 40 watts in idle is my true objective!! For that... AMD Fusion or Atom Ion Board is initial my first choices, than i discover the economic and the beast power provide for an i3 build. I think that i will overkill my initial and money intentions.. but it is ok Mobo : Asus P8H67-M LE REV 3.0 CPU : Intel Core i3 2100T 3M Cache PSU : Lc-Power 460W 6460GP3 V2.3 140mmn 80PLUS Corsair Builder Series CX600W V2 80PLUS Case : Nox Max (Budget Case for six disks, and more three 5.25 bays) Corsair 2GB 1333 mhz DDR3 2 x 120mm Nox Blacid Acer 1 x 80mm Nox Blacid Acer USB Pen Kingston DT100G2/8GBZ (with unRaid Server Plus) 2 x WDC_WD20EARS-00MVWB0 2TB 3 x SAMSUNG_HD204UI 2TB One older 2.5 cache drive disk WDC_WD1600BEVS 160GB FTP, Samba, XBMC Database, Sabnzbd, Transmission, Video Transcoding add-on, and maybe a cache drive in a 3.5 bay it a windows or ubuntu partition for advance setups and motherboard upgrades. And so on... Post Edit : Add the Pictures... I have hacked all the three Nox Acid fans... 5v for a quiet and silent server: It all drives spun down 33.6 watts in idle!!! Opinions and thoughts ? The article in my Portuguese Blog. In fact this is a Portuguese unRaid Build Quote Link to comment
Rajahal Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 That power supply seems to be a dual +12V rail model, with only 15A to power hard drives. It is fine for a small number of drives (5-6 green drives or 3-4 7200 RPM drives), but if you want to expand past that then I suggest upgrading it to a single +12V rail, such as a Corsair 430W or 500W. Everything else looks fine. I assume you'll probably want to upgrade your case somewhere down the line. I agree that the i3 is the best all around CPU for unRAID - low power, yet powerful enough to run any add-on you may like. Quote Link to comment
Nasp Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 Big thanks Rajahal for your feedback! I will change the PSU for one Corsair Builder Series CX600W V2 80PLUS!!! My intentions is 6 disks max (5+1) and probably one more drive, a cache drive! Quote Link to comment
Johnm Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 My intentions is 6 disks max (5+1) and probably one more drive, a cache drive! With the i3 and bigger power supply, you are also future proofing your build. While you think 6 is good for now, months from now you can expand to more drives. Quote Link to comment

Rajahal Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 33W at idle is very impressive! Well done! Quote Link to comment
