May 8, 201214 yr Hi, I have been planning to build my first unraid server and have been receiving help in this thread http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=19974.0 I want to build a server that is expandable to up to 12 drives, use sabnzbd/sickbeard/couchpotato and most importantly be powerful enough to transcode for plex. So far my proposed build looks like this: Case: Antec 300 http://www.dabs.com/products/antec-300-three-hundred-case-black-6252.html?refs=50882 MoBo: Asus M5A78L-M LX V2 http://www.ebuyer.com/319620-asus-mb-m5a78l-m-lx-v2-amd-am3-uatx-90-mibfw0-g0eay00z-m5a78l-m-lx-v2# CPU:AMD Phenom II X4 965 http://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-HDZ965FBGMBOX-Phenom-II-965/dp/B002SRQ214/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1336321487&sr=1-1 PSU: Corsair TX550M : http://www.ebuyer.com/279548-corsair-tx550m-550w-modular-power-supply-cp-9020001-uk?utm_source=google&utm_medium=products RAM: Kingston (2x2GB) DDR3 1333MHz http://www.ebuyer.com/234976-kingston-4gb-2x2gb-ddr3-1333mhz-hyperx-blu-memory-kit-khx1333c9d3b1k2-4g HDD: 1x Seagate 3TB 7200RPM http://www.dabs.com/products/seagate-3tb-barracuda-sata-6gb-s-64mb-7200rpm-3-5--hard-drive-7W95.html?refs=54060000&src=3 1x Hitachi Deskstar 5K3000 3TB 5400RPMhttp://www.morecomputers.com/extra.asp?pn=0F12460 Flash Drive: http://www.dabs.com/products/lexar-jumpdrive-firefly---usb-flash-drive---8-gb---usb-2-0---charcoal-7536.html?refs=55980000&src=3 It was suggested in my original thread that I get a different Mobo. I looked at the BIOSTAR A880G+ but it is not widely available in the UK. Can someone help me choose a suitable Mobo that I am able to purchase here in the UK. Thanks in advance
May 8, 201214 yr Author I have been directed towards the ASRock 880GM-LE FX http://www.amazon.co.uk/ASRock-880GM-LE-FX-Motherboard-Processor/dp/B0072X9194/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1336492200&sr=1-1 Anyone got any objections to me using this motherboard...

Looks OK, the 880GM chipset works fine with unRAID so you shouldn't run into any hiccups.
