Hey all, so i've not posted my old build but this is my newly rethought out unRAID powered home server for media and gaming.

 

The image above is a test setup while "patiently" waiting for my Define R5 to arrive.

 

So lets start with my previous servers, I started with a Zyxel NAS and quickly got bored of that and replaced it with a HP N54L Micro server running Synology (XPEnology) That wasn't powerful enough for me so i then got rid of that and decided to build my own server, started as AMD system but quickly was replaced with a I5 4460 running unRAID. I've recently decided i'm going to put everything in 1 pc so this is the result..

THE H310 is bottom most PCIe slot, not really noticeable with the GPU above
