jungario Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Good day, what would be the least expensive list of components recommended to built an unraid server ( 6 HDD to be stacked in ) that will be in the storage room. I am shelling whatever i can save on a nice HTPC. Already have the case , hard drives and flash thumb. Best, Michael Quote Link to comment
beckp Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Take a look at Raj's 6 Drive miniTower for the remaining components. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=7998.0 Quote Link to comment
Fred Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 My build (signature) was pretty cheap, around 110$ for MB/CPU/Ram. For PSU a Corsair Builder 430W would be nice. Quote Link to comment

jungario Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 So far, I am about to buy these components ( sale ends tomorrow), hesitating on the power supply I have 3 choices, I know I got to get this one right! I will buy the Antec one price is just 38.88$ and it is well ventilated certainly better than my very old case. Antec Basiq VP450 450W Power Supply ATX12V V2.3 Dual +12V Rail 120MM Fan 80% Efficiency $28.88 or Corsair Builder Series CMPSU-500CXV2 500W ATX Power Supply Active PFC 120MM Fan *3 Year Wrty* Price: $44.99 CAD Antec One Mid-Tower Gaming ATX Case Black 3X5.25 5X3.5 2X2.5 Front USB3.0 Top Rear 120MM Fans No PSU $38.88 cad Corsair Builder Series CMPSU-430CXV2 430W ATX Power Supply Active PFC 120MM Fan *3 Year Warranty* Price: $39.99 CAD Monoprice Syba SIL3132 $12.04 Kingston HyperX 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model KHX1600C9AD3K2/4G $24.99 Hesitating about the cpu-mobo combination any newer components ( might move to another build down the road) not far from this price range (ASUS M5A78L-M LX Plus $56.98 SEMPRON 145 $40.99 ) Thanks Quote Link to comment
Johnm Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I would avoid the Antec power supply. It is a dual 12v rail. not ideal for a storage system. Quote Link to comment
Fred Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Try to get a single rail PSU, I have a Corsair Builder 430W in another system and would use it for a 6 disk array. Good luck! Quote Link to comment
