Starting up the maximum that I've seen was around 115w

 

With all disks spinning between 46.6w and 47.8w

 

With no disks spinning between 23.7w and 24.4w

 

In sleep mode 2.1w, but although it can go in sleep mode once it goes out not everything is working in a proper way and I always end up doing a restart.

My experience tends to be the same -- so I just let my trusty little server run 24/7 => it only draws ~ 19w at idle anyway (with all disks spun down).    I'd think with yours idling at 24w you'd just do the same.

 

I just gave your build a serious look, because I was interested in upgrading the internals of my rig, which also uses a Node 304 case. My initial concept was to have it only serve files, so at the moment it is very light on processing power. Being new to unRaid, I didn't realize how darn convenient dockers were. After discovering how elegant of a solution they were, I abandoned my original plan of running Plex in a separate Intel NUC.  Now I want to use the same motherboard as you with either a Xeon or i3.

 

Question: which direction is the Hyper 212's fan pushing air? Is it not fighting the 140mm fan?

All fans flow the air in the same direction, from the front of the box to the back. The flow of all fans is reversible, so when you're assembling then you just need to make sure the flow is to the side you want.

While ripping DVD's and with the CPU at around 90% it draws 60w (just don't remember if all the drives where spinning or not, need to do another test when ripping the next DVD's)
