    Can 1600W Rosewill PSU handle 6 x r9 290 cards?

    Even if you could 'idle/work' at 1600w, a start up surge, power dip, anything like that could easily exceed 1600w. And 1600w @100v = 16amps. Can the mains circuit take that? Nowadays many house circuit breakers are 15amp.

    Freenas 8 build advice

    You are aware that Freenas 8 supports ZFS which is looking more appealing than Raid 5, right? Hardware wise, this sounds sufficient for a starting point. How far are you looking to grow this? What is the purpose of this? File server or other? I've got an old Athlon with 4gb, dual gigabit...
