July 30, 201015 yr Hi--I already have the hard drives (SATA WD 1GB Green). I just a need a system that will permit me to watch my movies on 4 tvs located in various rooms around the house. The wiring is in-place due to computers and TiVo. I just need the box. Something that will keep itself cool, not make too much noise...with 16-bays. It will not be used as a workstation. What else.... I do not have central air and the average temp is mid-70's. (Hotter in the summer; I do turn on the a/c.) I would like the ability for the CPU to control the various fans as needed and, if not, for me to manually turn them down/up as needed to help control noise levels. And it is possible there will be times when all 4 tvs/media centers and maybe a computer or two will simultaneously pull a movie. I hope that is enough to solicit some suggestions. Thank you.
July 31, 201015 yr The one thing you left out and maybe the most important is: How much do you want to spend? Beyond that you can take a look in the unRAID wiki at the Recommended builds section.
August 1, 201015 yr You can build one hell of an unraid box for $1500. Check out the wiki like prostuff said, or look into one of the pre-built (http://lime-technology.com/products/md-1510-server) options if you don't want to do it yourself
