    I can try this as well. Haven't underclocked / overclocked previously, but I assume should be relatively easy via BIOS

    Motherboard for DIY NAS

    I've decided to go with a Supermicro board. Either the X9SCM-F or X9SCL+-F. Extra PCI-E & 2x SATA 6.0 worth the $20 extra for the X9SCM-F? Also, what is the cheapest processor that will work with these boards? i3-2100? Or will Pentium (such as G620) work?
