Rajahal Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Nevermind, this board doesn't have gigabit LAN. ZOTAC NF610I-K-E LGA 775 NVIDIA GeForce 7050 NVIDIA nForce 610i Mini ITX Intel Motherboard $39.99, $29.99 after MIR (Expires on 9/22/10). 4 SATA ports plus one PCIe x1 slot, should work well with up to 6 drives. Pair it with the Celeron 430 for a low power server. I haven't personally tested this motherboard, but the nForce 610i should be fully compatible with unRAID. Link to comment
poofyhairguy Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I have been looking at this for an Unraid testing setup (as I have a 775 CPU I am not using) but I can't find any decent NAS Mini ITX cases. Any suggestions? Link to comment
bcbgboy13 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 This is one of the best: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112265&Tpk=PC-Q08B Also available in silver or red Link to comment
Rajahal Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 I agree, that is one of the best. There are plenty of options if you don't mind internal drives. There aren't many if you want external drives. Link to comment
PCRx Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 From the Newegg comments: Cons: -could not get to boot from USB flash drive. No option to set it as a bootable device or use it as a one-time boot device. However, it does work with a USB optical drive. -no gigabit ethernet. The on-board video output is not sharp and crisp (kind of blurry) Link to comment
Rajahal Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 Wow, you are correct, I redact this deal. The lack of gigabit LAN kills it. The AMD version of this board has it so I just assumed that this one did as well. I should have been more careful, thanks for catching that. Link to comment
