New here to the community and New to xbmc. Got my HTPC up and running and Love it. but currently I am streaming my media off my main desktop that I use everyday and only has 500 gigs. I am collecting movies and tv shows very fast thanks to couch potato and sickbeard. I haved 40 gigs left. Plus I hate having to leave my main desktop that I use for web surfing and emails and all that running 24/7.
So looks like I will be creating an unRaid Server. Without very much money left after building an htpc I am def on a budget. So I like Eskro's entry level unRaid server which most of my parts will be from.
Thank you eskro and all with your guides and what not has helped me very much. Within 2 weeks I started from never hearing of what an HTPC is to having one and its running great and streaming my media. Now I am doing the same again, never new anything about servers never heard of unRaid until now!
On to my build I just want to make 100% sure this is all compatible and will all work together well and make sure I am not missing anything before I do this build.
[MOBO+iGPU] ASUS M4A88T-M LE AM3+ HD4250 Micro-ATX ($80 + $0)
[PSU] CORSAIR CMPSU-430CX 430W 80Plus certified ATX12V ($40 + $0)
[Processor] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6819103903
[Case] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6811129066
[RAM] Not sure yet but I want ddr3 4 gig of ram
Am I missing anything. I know I am missing sata cables and Hard drives but I will buy one drive at a time and as needed I will purchase more and more.
Any Comments or Concerns feel free to let me know I dont want to screw this up ha. Also not 100% set on this case if you feel there is a better one let me know or even a smaller one I wouldnt mind either
Thanks in Advance.
