    Advice on a homebuilt, ZFS-based NAS

    Okay. I'll see about the LED, if it's too bright, I'll just remove the cable from the board. As for the disk activity LED, I've never found them useful anyways, so I don't mind either way. ^^ The Seasonic looks great, and it apparently fits into the LiLi case as well. Thanks for the tip :)

    Advice on a homebuilt, ZFS-based NAS

    Good, I'll look at those, thanks :) As for mATX motherboards, I'm looking at a Supermicro X9SCM or X9SCL for ECC support. For motherboards without ECC support, I'd take some generic consumer board.

    Advice on a homebuilt, ZFS-based NAS

    Ok, I did some additional research on the question of ECC memory and the i3-2120T, and it's not clear at all whether the processor supports it or not. ARK doesn't say either "yes" or "no", and apparently it's mainly a question of the motherboard chipset. Also, what about the controller card...

    Advice on a homebuilt, ZFS-based NAS

    I was thinking of getting ECC memory, but it's not supported by the i3. I'd need to get a Xeon, and even the cheapest low-end Xeon is above the budget, both in money and power terms. :/ The case I'm looking at only supports ITX. The reason I'm so in love with this case is the blatant storage...

    Advice on a homebuilt, ZFS-based NAS

    Cheers, I'm currently assembling a ZFS-based file server to store backups and stream videos to 1-2 computers at my home. It'll need to be ITX based, quiet (but not necessarily silent) and as power-saving as possible. The nice people at Tom's Hardware and the FreeBSD fora were very helpful...
