well..
got my hands on SG05 today, going to get a 2nd one for my other system
#1 = main system : I5 3570K, 16GB, ASROCK Z77e ect...
#2 = storage rig : E350 mobo , 4GB , 1U SFX psu
when i opened the case found that the top plate (slim-dvd + hdd) has 4 holes but there are also 4 holes in a...
i'm planing on changing my current build (also my main pc) runing a RAID5 using PERC 5/i with 4*1TB
to a itx build with E350 mobo with 4GB ram (have the board) using this case

but i am confused on how to run it (what OS)
the data is static...
right now i have the CM elite 120 case and the ASROCK mobo
but lack a good cooler, and started to think if the antec 620 will be a good solution
it's small and cheap
while i know i'll have to mod the case... i'll do it
but for the most important part
will the ANTEC 620 fit the ASROCK...
i moved for my RAID 5 via DELL PERC 5/i to a software solution called SnapRAID
a snapshot raid that i do once a week for my video collection
the downside is that it doesn't have a data pool option
the new WIN8 came up with Storage Spaces
does any one used it? and can tell how good or bad...
Does anyone use liquesce as a data pool solution.
If you use it, tell me some info and experience with it
If not, do you know other solution for windows?

i was going to run FlexRaid on my HTPC/NAS to make snapshot raid (no need for live raid...) but now i see the programmer changed it from free to $$$... not cheap
so, i'm looking for another way to do 2 things
1. create data pool from several hdds
2. create a snapshot raid (most likely i'll...
before i finish my build (E350 + 5*2TB) i need to decide (:rolleyes: i know) on OS and redundancy plan

my options right now are

i bought a 250W seasonic PSU but the i remembered i have a 65W DC-DC psu taken from Gigabyte MIB T5140 and a 90W picopsu with a 80W brick

i have a small media server that stores my data, right now i'm upgrading it to a 4*2tb.
i was going to use FlexRaid for the new data array becouse i really don't need it to be a Realtime... snapshot will be just fine for movie files that i just store.
while i read about flexraid i found out...
as the title says, looking for itx hardware : mobo's and cases...
in case of a mobo a combo of cpu+mobo+mem is also good
but!

right now i'm building my itx pc, main problem is not the length of the card but how much power can i provide to it
the rig will use FLEX psu (or i might go with SFX) so the power is going to be 250~300W max.
with that in mind the rest of the rig will be:
Intel I5 2500 (might get a low TDP...
