nighttraitor Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Just looking for feedback on my 2nd rig. My main purpose is for media streaming using Air Video server and backup. I don't mind spending extra $$$ to get the right gear, but I don't want to take out a 2nd mortgage either ;-) My main goal is to eventually have 20 drives for around 40TB of storage. I currently have the Antec case for another rig so I won't have to buy that. Everything else will be new. Mobo: BIOSTAR H55A+ LGA 1156 Intel H55 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138281 CPU: Intel Core i3-540 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115221 RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231303 PSU: CORSAIR HX Series CMPSU-750HX http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139010 Case: Antec Twelve Hundred http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129100 SATA Expansion Card: 2 x SUPERMICRO AOC-SASLP-MV8 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816101358 Hot Swap Drive Bays: Norco SS-500 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816133030 Breakout Cables: 3ware CBL-SFF8087OCR-06M http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816116101 Hard Drives: Green drives (5400 rpm or 5900 rpm) I'll probably replace the Norco cage fans with Noctua 92mm fans http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608005 Thanks for the help!

prostuff1 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 everything looks good to me. I have not used that board and you may want to search the forums to see if anyone else it. The only other thing I will point out is to make sure that the RAM is on the compatible list on the Biostar website. Quote Link to comment
yelnatsch517 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 You have the wrong cable. That is a reverse breakout. You need a forward breakout like this one. It's actually on sale too. I just purchased one yesterday for the full price. Those bastards =( Quote Link to comment

Did you successfully replace the 80mm cage fans with the Noctua 92mm fans? Quote Link to comment
