The case has four fans with 3-pin connectors. The motherboard I purchased only has one 3-pin fan connector. The adapter linked in the OP converts one Molex input to three. How do I hook up the fans then? Do I need one or these for each fan?

Thanks.

Edit2: Nevermind. Should have opened the fans and found the Molex adapters first.
Can you elaborate where you found the molex adapters?? I have the same case but I haven't found any adapters :-)
Thanks

I actually bought the regular 300 and purchased two case fans separately, which came with adapters. For the other built-in fan I used one of these:

I have a quick question: I've been messing around with this for a few days, getting all my plugins installed and whatnot. I'm having a lot of issues with the entire system becoming inaccessible. As an example, just now I was running a Crashplan backup, a few Sab downloads and streaming a movie via SMB. Suddenly, my movie freezes. I try to access the tower through a browser, and nothing loads. And I can no longer telnet in to reboot.
Is it possible that I need a more powerful dual or triple core processor? I also have not set up parity yet, fwiw.

On this for the last 2 HD's
the last 2 HDD's will require a 2 Port PCI Sata Card ($15)
That card is no longer available.....
And since its a PCI regular Sata card is it going to be fast ans the PCI Express?
Also anything new that can have 4 Sata Plugs for the PCI Express?
Only options would be the Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 8-Port ? Well it will be good in a way but need a bigger case.....
RE: Entry-Level unRAID Server Build - Beer40oz - 2012-05-14
Hey Eskro or to who knows.......... so to fill up my unraid build to 18TB and 2TB of Parirty
I need to get a PCI Controller for more Sata ports.....
So all I need to do is get a HD cage that will fit 4 HD's
My mobo has a PCI Express..... and 2 PCI ports.....
so for the PCI Express get the PCI-Express RAID Controller
And for the PCI get the same one?
Now question is the PCI one would I have any trouble on speed?
Been looking at this.....
http://www.greenleaf-technology.com/blogs/prototypes/index.php
Just wanna finish it....
I guess I can ask on the other boards.....
I asked.....

RE: Entry-Level unRAID Server Build - eskro - 2012-05-14
only use 1 old school PCI card.
even if you have lets say 3 old school PCI slots...
if u use more then 1 slot, you'll be sorry....
it'll affect speeds....
RE: Entry-Level unRAID Server Build - Beer40oz - 2012-05-14
Ok so on Lime tech someone posted that I can just buy two of this:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10407&cs_id=1040702&p_id=2530&seq=1&format=2
And one can be used in the x1 and the other in the x16.....
Cool...
I knew it could be done! Just making sure.

was the fan issue ever resolved? do I need any additional wires other than the one stated in the OP?
RE: Entry-Level unRAID Server Build - aptalca - 2012-06-04
Yes you do, because the case does not come with the adapters. I just ordered a couple of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002344F2
They should arrive tomorrow and I will let you know how they work out
RE: Entry-Level unRAID Server Build - azula - 2012-06-04
thanks aptalca
RE: Entry-Level unRAID Server Build - aptalca - 2012-06-21
Quick update, the fan power adapters I linked to above worked perfectly.
RE: Entry-Level unRAID Server Build - Zootoxin - 2012-07-16
These are great guides.
Do you have to have specific hardward or will any old PC work?
Maybe you could do a guide on turning an old pc into a free unRAID server?
That would be pretty darn cool.

A good source of info for unRaid builds is the Lime-Technology Forums.
Hope this helps.

I know this is a old thread but I hope I might get an answer anyway.
Love the build and the cheap price, even though it's more expensive for me in Sweden.. buuuhhh f*ing taxes : (
anyways, to the question.
The case: ANTEC Three Hundred Illusion Micro-ATX
Is it possible to exchange it to the following:
Xigmatek Utgard Mesh Micro-ATX
And use some of theese:
COOLER MASTER 4-in-3 Device Module Hardisk Cage
Would that be better for cooling?
I know it's a bit more expensive then the entry level build, but I just think that case is better suited.
Thanks in advance
RE: Entry-Level unRAID Server Build - aptalca - 2012-07-24
Actually that case is used for the "12 drive build" on eskro's thread
