    Danny, that board is a micro ATX. Do you know which one would be the standard ATX equivalent that can do RAID 1?

    I purchased this CPU with this CPU cooler. Would either of these come with thermal paste or will I need to buy some?

    Thank you Danny, that is a lot of good information. I'm debating whether I would play all of those games. Which video card would you recommend with the games not considered?

    I went ahead and bought the SeaSonic 650W PSU. They are currently running with all of my data on one and the other as a backup. No.

    4 years old I am about 4 hours from both of those locations. I prefer an normal ATX case. Preferably one that has a door or some kind of protection over the power buttons. I have young kids that like to push buttons.

    Help with build

    Hey Guys. Its time for an upgrade and since I haven't kept up much with current hardware I would like some advice on what I should buy. I don't game as much as I used to but I would like a decent enough video card to be happy with most games and run two monitors and a TV for media. I would...

    Need Advice on NAS

    Yes I do but I figure I might as well use a full sized ATX board since the case fits one but since there is no equivalent I'm fine using the smaller one.

    Need Advice on NAS

    Due to my inexperience I am undecided as to what is good enough for the price. 50 MB/s would probably be good enough for my needs but I have a gigabit network at home so it would only use up 40% of my available bandwidth. I am thinking that the second build that Danny Bui posted might give...

    Need Advice on NAS

    So I have been considering getting the Hp ProLiant Micro server and installing Free BSD to do a RAID-Z 5 with the four drives. However, I have been reading the forum post below and I have been getting the impression that it is not powerful enough for a RAID Z even with 4 gig of RAM...

    Need Advice on NAS

    Thank you for your responses. A lot of good information. I noticed that the builds above all have a 3+ GHZ dual core processor but the pre-built Hp ProLiant Micro server has a 1.3 GHZ processor. Is the processor speed important in a NAS? I would like to go with a 35 or 45 watt CPU if it...

    Case, RAM, CPU, power supply, motherboard, 4 2TB Hard drives, RAID controller (can be embedded or software. I am open to recommendations.) Later this month unless there is a good reason to wait. The 6 TB of space I will get from the four hard drives should be good for at least a year...
