January 11, 201313 yr Currently working on a budget build for my first ever build (unraid or otherwise). So I'm a bit daunted. Here are the parts I chose: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Am9r7yO5p-VydDFpRGFoNzZpdFlGY0M2dHdTcVR6SGc Do they all fit together? I have no idea how to determine if they will have compatibility issues Buying only one harddrive since I have two other 3TB drives, two more 2TB, and about 4 <1 tb drives that I'd like to use. I also have two IDE drives that I'd like to make use of here since they're working perfectly fine. I was told I can use a sata convertor to attach them. Now my questions: The mobo comes with 6 Sata ports. Is there a PCIe card with 5 or 6 sata ports? Or should I get a different motherboard + CPU combo. If the combo is too expensive, I can forgo some of the drives with smaller capacity so there is enough SATA ports. But I was hoping It'd be expandable so I can add more drives in the future. Will my power supply be enough for about 10 drives? or should I be looking at something with more wattage? If there is a budget option, I'd like to get a motherboard+cpu that is a bit more expandable. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot for your help!
