June 29, 201016 yr Cant say much for the gear, but Heya from Freeboxjukebox. Nice case to start with I might add.
June 29, 201016 yr The 450W PSU is looking a wee bit small if you plan on cramming 20 drives into that thing.
June 29, 201016 yr Author Hi Kizer, good to see ya As for the psu I don't plan on having 20 drives at first, maybe 6 to 8
June 29, 201016 yr Hi Kizer, good to see ya As for the psu I don't plan on having 20 drives at first, maybe 6 to 8 If you already have the PSU, you can use it until you reach ~12drives, but if you're buying it now, it's a waste of money because you'll need to upgrade it soon or later.
June 30, 201016 yr Author I currently have 3 or 4 drives I plan on using, they are all 7200 rpm drives. These will all be used as data drives. In the future I plan on buying all green drives but right now I need to buy a parity drive, what should I get, I would like 2tb
June 30, 201016 yr People seems very happy with the Hitachi 2TB 7200RPM drive, so that's what I recommend: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822145298
