Miwa Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Built up a unRAID system using the D945GCLF2, an old Antec ATX case, a 2GB DDR2 stick, a Promise TX4 300, and 3 WD 1TB GP drives. Used my old Supermicro 5-in-3 hotswap bay for the drives. Standby power is around 55W, with case and drive cage fans going. The power supply is what used to be in the server for a 5x250GB RAID 5 array, and the pf is a horrible .55 or so. Looking to drop in a small power supply, maybe 75W or so, and hopefully it'll be a bit more efficient. Quote Link to comment
WeeboTech Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Cool, thanks for the update, let us know how the new power supply works out. Quote Link to comment
ilovejedd Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 While I'm a big proponent of not buying oversized power supplies, 75W seems a bit small. I'd go with 90W just to be safe. Quote Link to comment

BiosDude Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I'm considering this mobo for a really small home media NAS. Any problems getting the RealTek NIC up? Quote Link to comment
pcbroch Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 A bit late for a reply maybe, but I have just complete a build with the same mobo and everything works just fine. Of course, with only 2 SATA-2 ports onboard, a PCI card is required. The board seems to be able to handle the job quite well. Not sure if it's of interest to anyone, but I have documented my build (and another one) here: http://pats-nas-server.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment
alphazo Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Hello, Does anybody know if the NIC card can run in gigabit mode (aka MTU>1500) ? So far I haven't been able to set large MTU whether under Linux or FreeBSD. Alphazo Quote Link to comment
