Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

IF you want low power utilization, I think you're best off to look towards newer parts (board, cpu)
I switched from a dual...
pfSense on an SSD should do nicely.
Have two Intel Atom boxes (redundant) on full gigabit links and regularly handle 700+mbits/s through my work office.
Hardware RAID is fine, and I never said the OP should ditch the controllers. Just a suggestion on filesystem to achieve redundancy and performance for this level of storage, because I really think it'd be stupid to run 100TB of storage with no redundancy.
ZFS is designed to run on...
You should really look into using an OS with ZFS support. It was made for this type of application.
You can create "raidz" (raid5) or "raidz2" (raid6) groups of disks - say 8 disks per group -- then you can then create one large storage "pool" out of all of your disk groups.
So, for example...
Handbrake (CLI) is, IMO, the best DVD ripper you can get.
I don't have any suggestions for copying or burning DVD's though, as I simply rip them and view over the network via HTPC.
k3b may be able to do direct DVD cloning, etc
Have a look through the screenshots thread
Lots of people using Conky for stats on the desktop, and there are also many people who have little widgets in their Gnome / KDE / XFCE task bars for cpu / memory usage.
If you're running Gnome / XFCE, you can run the gnome-system-monitor applets...
keenan's method is quick and easy, and should work for you ... however if you need to connect to an external mail server, do authentication, etc, I've found smtp-client.pl to be very helpful.
Those are the nicest pictures of a messy setup I've ever seen! :p
What lens / body did you use for the photos?
Clean up those wires and that would be one real clean setup. Love the triple-monitors.
