Update on my 2018 Build

[SimonAG]

I did post about my build buying decisions back in 2018. I have since bought a rack, so I thought I would share a photo and current specs. 

 

Unraid

Logic Case SC-43400-8HS

Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD4H

Intel 4670k 3.8ghz

8GB corsair unbuffered

8 Port SilverStone ECS04 

7x 6TB Seagate ST6000VN0033 
1x 4TB WD

550W Seasonic Focus Gold PSU
2x 80mm back Noctua Fans for Case
2x 120mm front fan
1x 140mm front fan

Pfsense 

in-Win IW-RF100

Supermicro A2SDi-4C-HLN4F

4gb 2133mhz  Unbuffered 

60gb SSD

TP-LINK CAP1750 WAP

8 port netgear switch 

 

Vero 4k for media center

 

To solve the heating issues in the Logic Case I had to cable tie fans to the front of the case on the dust filter. It solved the temp issue completely. Unfortunately it does not look very good, I need to buy some fan guards and maybe matching 120mm FANs would look better.

 

I bought a very good short throw rack from Amazon Samson brand, it was only £90 delivered. 

 

If you have any questions let me know.

Interesting to see the entire setup including another windows media pc, vero 4k, my LG CX and the unraid nas only uses 110watts at idle.

I bought one of those plugin dust air blowers and clean the case out twice a year now and my temps are looking perfect since 6.12.6 and in winter I can even remove the front fans now if I wanted to, which looks a lot better. 

 

Still planning on moving to a new case at some point.
