January 20, 200917 yr http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131353 Cannot find the silly NIC chipset information ANYWHERE! Uses the same chipsets as Tom seems to be using except it's a DDR2 board and not DD3. Need to swap in a new board but the premium on DDR3 memory bugs me for something that I know will not need that kind of performance, I might even have DDR2 around that will fit this. Thoughts? Wish it had a second IDE slot but those seem to be going away May jump on the board Tom uses since I need one ASAP but this board looks like a good one and am torn....
January 21, 200917 yr I'll 2nd NAS' recommendation. I looked a bit at the board you linked to - it "smells" like it may be using a very generic NIC chipset that unless you really like some other features of the board, it may be too much of a gamble. Since its mAtx, you wouldn't want to have to burn an expansion slot to add a nic card and it really isn't giving you anything that the official board does. For what it's worth, DDR3 is now cheaper than DDR2 prices were when I built my unRaid server last year at about this time. If you do want two IDE on the motherboard and DDR2, here's a fair board, just maybe a bit on the pricier side: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813182150 I don't recall anyone trying it with unRaid - but I think all of its chipsets are compatible.
