The reason I pick the Supermicro MBD-X9SRL-F is that it has 7x PCI-E ports. I can use these for adding more Quad Nic's or a Fibre Channel (Two can be used for GPU's in case I want passthrough GPU and KVM over ethernet for HTPC VM on a TV) All the newer devices now use PCI-E which makes the...

Thanks. Is there any other cases you would recommend looking at instead of the Norco 4224. I don't really want to spend over $600 for hotswap case. The 4224 is $500 Led light failure notification would be nice for the hard drive bays. Unless you can make software flicker the HDD status light...

Awesome. I knew I was going to lack I/O performance but this will help me workout exactly what needs to be configured for maximum I/O experience on 4 drives. I will be adding more drives at a later time to improve speed once I start gathering everything in 1080p quality. I can also try...
