Cant say much for the gear, but Heya from Freeboxjukebox. Nice case to start with I might add.

The 450W PSU is looking a wee bit small if you plan on cramming 20 drives into that thing.

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.

I have another use for the psu, when I get to that point

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

People seems very happy with the Hitachi 2TB 7200RPM drive, so that's what I recommend:
