Was going for a FreeNAS build with Plex Plugin. I wanted something pretty compact, quiet, with hot swap bays. I plan to use it mainly as a Plex Media Server with remote file access. IDK if the SAS/SATA cables are right to use with the MOBO or not, or if the case comes with cables that will work? The extension cables i added because i read in a thread that they make it easier to install in NSC-810A case. I like the NSC-810A case but i also found the ITX-S8 Mini-ITX case with 8 hot swap trays. Which would be better to build in for a first time builder? Do i have all the hardware that i will need? Thanks for your help.
