I recently asked for some assistance in the CPU and MB section. I was looking to expand my NAS but avoid the near 200w idle consumption of the DL380G5 I planned on putting back into service. With the help of some forum members I picked out some parts and placed a bunch of ebay orders, a large...

I ended up getting the rest of the parts over the course of the weekend. So the whole buy ends up being: (1x) Xeon E3-1265L V2 (1x) Supermicro X9SCL+-F (1x) Dell PERC H310 (4x) 8GB ECC UDIMM (2x) Intel SFF-8087 Breakout Cable (1x) Norco RPC-2008 (1x) RL-26 Rail Kit (1x) SeaSonic SS-400L2u 400w...

I would like to be able to put 10-12 3.5inch but I can only support the 8x on the card currently so that would be minimum. I would then need to fit 1 or 2 SSD inside somewhere. I would rather have rackmount since I already have the rack and all, but I can just put it on a sliding drawer. Hot...

Decided to just stick it and drop the money on the udimm. Its really only an extra $100-150 more than expected and that doesn't leave much back and forth when it comes to trying to go e5 with rdimm and stay small and correctly powered spec'd. Now I am looking for what chassis to buy.

That chart was awesome thank you so much. This is what I just bought to start: Super Micro X9SCL+-F Dell PERC H310 XEON E3-1265L v2 It ended up being ~$10 extra to go for the 1265l over the 1260l... which is equivalent to not catching the right seller on the 1260l to be honest haha. It...

Thinking about dropping the NIC requirement and buying something from the PFSense people directly to support them. I am liking that series of Xeons. Might go to the 1275L for the extra clock speed just depends on whats available and prices. Looking at SuperMicro motherboards now that might...

I have been running out of space on my QNAP. I am going to sell it to my father and work on a server build. I was originally going to fire up the DL380 G5 and attach a DAS to it. I started to do the math and this system idles at 200W which puts my power usage at about $25+ a month, which...
