I’m deciding to upgrade my old server and need suggestions for some parts. Currently I will be running six 2TB drives but will be adding more down the road. It will run the latest unRAID RC along with several plugins including Sab, Sickbeard, Couchpotato, crashplan, sql, plex and using the ftp/web server functions. The primary use will be media server and data backup. It will be in the living room and on 80% of the time so I’d like to keep it as quiet as possible.

Is this fine or should I get something else? It was the cheapest one with several good reviews.

  • PSU: No idea???

I have no idea what size and type of PSU I should get. I won’t be running more than 10 drives (WD Green and Hitachi coolspin). If someone could recommended a PSU that is compatable with the X9SCM-F and the right size for my needs.

Either one better performing? My main concern is quiet.

 

Other Questions

Any suggestions for a quiet heatsink/fan or is the stock good?

 

Are the stock fans on the NZXT and R4 quiet or should I get replacement ones, if so what ones?

 

Anything else I should consider?

    For the PSU I'd recommend the SeaSonic X650. I have the X850 model and it's great. It's so efficient the fan never runs so that helps with the noise. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151088

     

    For the RAM you linked to your motherboard again. I'd got for two sticks of this: www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820239370

     

    You may also want to save yourself some money and go for the E3-1230 v2. That's really the price/performance sweet spot.
