April 20, 20206 yr I am looking to get a 24 bay chasis to upgrade my unraid system to. What I am planning on running in it is (all prices are in USD: Mobo: Asus Z10PE-D8 WS SSI EEB Dual-CPU LGA2011-3 Motherboard $500 on Ebay CPU: 2x Intel Xeon E5-2683 V3 2 GHz 14-Core Processor - found on ebay for about $180 each Cooler: 2x Noctua NH-U9DXi4 37.8 CFM CPU Cooler $60 each Mem: Crucial 8 GB (8 x 8 GB) Registered DDR4-2133 Memory $58.99 each Video Card: Sapphire Radeon RX VEGA 56 8 GB Video Card - Already owned I did find a case at this site. https://www.theserverstore.com/Supermicro-4U-BAREBONE-Server-BPN-SAS2-846EL1-24x-Trays_p_922.html Supermicro 4U BAREBONE Server BPN-SAS2-846EL1 24x Trays However, since this is a home server being located in the house, I want the SQ Power supplies which will add another $120 on to the price. Plus shipping...thats around $400. So basically Im looking to cut some of the cost from the build. Let me explain what I use unraid for: Plex, currently have 12TB of media on it and its definitely growing at an exponential rate. Usually have 2 simultaneous streams internally and sometimes 1 or two external streams also. Deluge, SABnzb, Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Jackett A couple VMs, one runs a minecraft server the other ones I do labs and testing for work etc. I just want to have a lot of processing power to freely do what I wish on Unraid and not worry about killing resources. These are my requirements: I want to run two cpus Mobo should have a m2 slot case needs to have lots of HDD drives. 24 is what Im hoping for since im planning for future expansion Backplane for case should have sas connectors to where I dont need HBA cards for each 8 drives. Server should be on the quieter side. Or have the option to mod it a little to get it quiet. Appreciate the recommendations. Edited April 20, 20206 yr by Armed Ferret
