Hi all.  Starting to look at building a new unraid to take advantage of the ability to build vms within it.  Here's what I was looking at, but it might be overkill for what i want to do (which is basic NAS along with maybe 1-2 low use VM's (1 for certain Windows VM to just run iTunes)).  It also blows the budget out of the water.  I was wanting to spend no more than say $500-$600 (not including drives of course).

 

ASUS GRYPHON Z97 LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

 

Intel Core i7-4790K Devil’s Canyon Quad-Core 4.0GHz

 

CORSAIR Vengeance Pro 32GB (4 x 8GB)

 

Now, I'm sorta stuck on a case.  I'd like to use a 5 in 3 raid cage like:  iStarUSA BPU-350-Blue 3x5.25

 

But having problems finding a good case.  Also, obviously need power, so looking for some advice on that too.

 

What do you guys think?  I miss Raj's prototype page.  that was very helpful..
