December 10, 20187 yr Hello I built my Unraid server in $40 Ikea cabinet , it is my media power house, but for some reason beside installing multiple fans in Ikea cabinet, my CPU and HDD's temperature would go high, specially streaming 4 K media I could hear CPU FAN going crazy. I think because of High temperature 2 of my HDD failed during couple of years. Recently I decided to put my UNRAID server in basement , and I purchased ARK 4U-500-CA Black 4U Rackmount Case. Boy that was the best decision , I see temperature of HDD do not cross 29 Celsius and CPU temperature under 50 Celsius. I also want to add, Unraid is the best NAS solution hands down. I tried Synology DS918+ and that was a disaster.I configured Raid 5 on it, and boy there is no way that thing can transcode 4 K Media, even 1080p with DTS HD the CPU will go 100% and the whole system would choke . I think box solution for NAS is for those who just want a raid and don't want to touch it again. My setup cost 30% less ( I have added video for my unraid ) I M/B: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. - E3 PRO GAMING V5 CPU: Intel® Xeon® CPU E3-1230 v5 @ 3.40GHz HVM: Disabled IOMMU: Disabled Cache: 128 kB, 1024 kB, 8192 kB Memory: 8 GB (max. installable capacity 64 GB) Network: eth0: 1000 Mb/s, full duplex, mtu 1500 4 x 8TB Segate HDD 1 x 500 GB WD HDD for Cache Drive ( I don't think you need SSD unless your run VM ) my Unraid setup video https://youtu.be/HOPzb8_HVOI IMG_7282.HEIC IMG_7284.HEIC IMG_7285.HEIC IMG_7286.HEIC IMG_5354.HEIC IMG_7278.HEIC IMG_7279.HEIC IMG_3460.HEIC IMG_2439.HEIC IMG_7287.HEIC
