Suggested hardware specs for new build

[papnikol]

Hi everyone,

I have 2 unraid servers, one of which is getting quite old (SATA1, 9 2tb drives - takes more than 30 hrs to perform parity sync). So, I was thinking that I would like to replace the core components.

I mainly need a mobo+CPU+memory (I have a good PSU, case,  controllers) and I need a few suggestions for a setup that is cheap but fulfills these requirements:

[*]more than 4 SATA2/3 ports onboard (ideally maybe

[*]2 PCI-express 8x gates that can be simultaneously used for additional hard disk controllers

[*]onboard graphics (so i dont have to use additional graphics card)

[*]a CPU with low consumption

 

 

I live in Greece, but I guess most of the components can be found here.

 

Thanks in advance for any help
