mbryanr Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 What size array do you plan to have? PSU problems can be one of the most frustrating components to troubleshoot. What is your old PSU? Single Rail? Max Amps? What is your intended usage for unRAID? Here is the Bear Point Spec sheet for everyone else: http://downloadmirror.intel.com/19714/eng/DH61BE_TechProdSpec02.pdf It has the Intel 82579V Gig Card...which is only supported in >unRAID 5.0 Beta-v3 http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=14167.msg134466#msg134466 Link to comment
stomp Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 I'm currently running out of space with my Syno (5.4 Tb). I'm planning on filling the Zalman case with up to 9 x 2 Tb. Once filled, I could switch to 3 Tb drives or get 5-in-3 cases... As for the PSU, I have no idea but I should probably get one of those 500W Corsair PSU, which is no big deal. I don't see the Intel NIC as a problem if it is supported by the latest Unraid builds. I think this MB has a great value for its price. Oh and usage, well it's just for streaming Blu-ray's mainly. I'm not planning to run lots of apps in the background Link to comment
mbryanr Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Good deal. I have a couple of Synos as well. You can help me integrate the two with unRAID. Link to comment

stomp Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 I received all the parts. Except the NIC being low-profile, everything is fine. For those of you interested, I'll post some pics when all the HDD have been transfered from my Syno. Link to comment
