Unraid build list (UK) - chrishorton7 - 2011-07-26
Hi,
I am trying to follow Eskro's unraid building guide - http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?p=827661#post827661
I'm having a little trouble finding some of the parts in the UK. I have to get the parts from Scan as I am using their finance deal.
The below screenshot link shows the parts I have found so far on Scan. Can anyone help me find the remaining parts?
http://www.brokenbrolly.com/clients/unraid.jpg
Items remaining:
- Motherboard - I can't find the same model number that Eskro has so something similar
- Memory - Either 2gb or 4gb - I am looking at using Sickbeard & SABnzbd
- Molex To 3-Molex Power Connector Cables
- Molex To 4-SATA Power Connector cables
- 2 Port PCI-Express Sata-II Card
- 5 bay SATA / SAS hot swap similar to the Norco one
- 1 Port PCI Sata-II Card
Any help would be really appreciated

I needed to get my parts from Scan but after a lot of searching I could not find them on the site so I ended up having to get them from elsewhere.

Hi T800,
Thanks for the response, did you build a similar spec unraid server then? If so where did you get your parts? Would it be possible to list the parts you bought?
- T800 - 2011-07-26
No problem. Other than the case and RAM it's the same.
These are from Scan
[*]Molex To 4-SATA Power Connector cables

[*]Motherboard - Eskro advised me of this one:

[*]Memory
http://www.misco.co.uk/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=303145&CatId=3198
I didn't get this one, I got the 1GB version.
[*]Molex To 3-Molex Power Connector Cables

Cheers for that mate. How many hard drives do you use in your server currently out of interest?
I think I read somewhere that motherboard won't hold as many as the one Eskro has originally in his build?
Have you used any of the hot swap caddys? Again I can't find the same ones on scan and was wondering if you bought any in the UK you can recommend?
- T800 - 2011-07-26
That's right but I couldn't find the motherboard in the UK and I wanted to get on with the build.
It should do me for the time being. My case can only hold up to 16 HDD's if I get 2 x 2 5.25 bays to 3 3.5 bay caddies.
At the moment I have 4 x 2TB drives in there. Once it's up and running and full I will expand to another 4 x 2TB and then see from there.

Hi T800,
Which fans did you use for your server?

The case came with fans.

If you are only looking for 5 bays then why not look at the HP Micro Server.
With £100 cash back it’s a very nice buy. I have one running with 5 disks and its brilliant.
