Ok here's my wish list. I will be adding 2 HVR-1800 PCIe 1x cards to this and need some recommendations for additional parts and a motherboard to fit this stuff. Pleas also advise me if I'm missing anything.

I am not sure about the HD tuner cards, but everything else looks pretty good.


Except that PSU.

Coolmax = garbage.

That same PSU was reviewed over @ JonnyGuru. At best its a 600 watt PSU in reality. Anything beyond that and it goes downhill, and fast.

You would be better server buying something like the Corsair 850TX.


Seriously, don't take a chance on frying all that nice hardware with a trash psu like that Coolmax.

That PSU sucks.

Get a good PSU.

What Mathemabeat and nitrobass24 said: Ditch that Coolmax PSU and get a better quality PSU. The Corsair 750TX and PC P&C 750 will be able to power that system with 20 drives in it. However if you want a bit more headroom in order to be closer to the optimal temperature, noise and longevity range for a PSU, get the Corsair 850TX.
