April 16, 201214 yr Figured I'd share my unraid setup. unRAID Server #1 (Kirk): Supermicro 933T-R760B 15 Bay 3U Chassis (w/760watt Redundant Power Supply) Supermicro X7DVL-E Motherboard w/ IPMI Dual Intel Xeon 5120 1.86Ghz CPUs 4GB Ram Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 PCI-X SATA Controller Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 PCI-e SATA Controller 3TB Parity Drive 28TB Storage (Mixture of 3TB and 2TB Drives) 750GB Cache Drive Running unRAID 5.0b12a unRAID Server #2 (Spock) Supermicro 933T-R760B 15 Bay 3U Chassis (w/760watt Redundant Power Supply) Supermicro X7DBN Motherboard w/ IPMI Intel Xeon 5120 1.86Ghz CPU 4GB Ram Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 PCI-X SATA Controller Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 PCI-e SATA Controller 2TB Parity Drive 14.3TB Storage (5 x 2TB, 1 x 1.5TB, 1 x 750gb) 500GB Cache Drive Running unRAID 5.0b12a Both are connected to separate APC 750 Smart-UPS's (w/ network management) and connected to a Cisco SG 200-18 18 Port managed gigabit network switch. All is housed in a Tripp-Lite 13u Rack. Both servers feed media to 2 Mac Mini's attached to TV's as well as 1 iMac and 1 Macbook Pro all running Plex. I'm already thinking of the future whether to look for a Supermicro 24 bay 4U case, or another 15 bay 3U Case for another server. I'm obsessed! Questions/Comments/Suggestions are always welcome!
April 16, 201214 yr Quite the setup! Are you running the Plex Media Server on Kirk or Spock? What about SAB/CP/SB? Bob
April 16, 201214 yr Author SAB, SickBeard and Couch Potato are all running on Kirk. I actually run the Plex Media Manager on my iMac. I prefer the OSX version of the media manager rather then the web based version.
May 23, 201214 yr Where did you get that rack? I want to buy one--preferbly a little taller if possible.
May 25, 201214 yr Author It's a Tripp-Lite 13U 4 post rack. I found it on ebay. Startech makes 12U and 25U 4 post racks as well, but they seem pricey (250ish+). I picked this one up for around 120 on ebay. It suits my needs for now, but I just picked up another 3u Supermicro case, so the rack is full. I'm moving next year, so I think i'll need a bigger rack for sure!!

Isn't the hardware overkill for what unraid is? You have a dual processor board there. I doubt once processor ever even gets hot.
May 28, 201214 yr Author Absolutely overkill! I have actually removed one of the processors from the dual server and am planning on using it in my third unraid server.
