Since the wife put the kibosh on my Dual E5-2650 V3 5u Asus tower build I had to sell it off. Her main issues isn't the money spent, she doesn't like all the ugly and sometimes noisy hardware around, especially big towers and server cases. We came to an agreement that I can build smaller builds so here comes the next one
Edit: My HTPC died so instead of building 2 systems i'm going to roll the HTPC in. I am going to have to loose Unraid, the ECC ram and go with some consumer parts though. I'm either going to re-purpose the Xeon-D & Ram or sell it. It would make a good light VM server.
This will be used for storage and a few dockers, possibly Plex if there is enough muscle in the Xeon D-1518 to transcode multiple blu-rays. It will be set up dual parity so 24TB usable.
Motherboard: SuperMicro-X10SDV-4C-TLN4F-Mini-ITX-Motherboard (Xeon D-1518) plus active HSF
Memory: 2x Samsung 16GB PC4-17000 DDR4-2133MHz
32 TB Storage/Media Server/HTPC
Motherboard: ASROCK H110M-ITX/ac
CPU: i7 6700 - Went non-k for the lower tdp
Memory: 16GB Crucial DDR4 (8*2)
Case: SilverStone SST-CS280B (8 hot swap 2.5")
Power Supply: Fractal Design 300W SFX
OS Drive: Crucial BX200 240GB
HBA: Dell Perc 310 Flashed to IT mode
Storage Drives: 8x Seagate 4TB 2.5" drives (currently in my desktop)
Software: Windows 10 Pro, Snapraid
Everything is currently in transit and I hope to have the parts next week. I will post pics as I build.
