Very nice! When my current Unraid Server (Dell Vostro 220 mini tower) runs out of space, I'll probably do something like this.

I have a small header pin to single USB cable I used to put my flash drive inside the case, but, after upgrading and wanting to remove the flash drive to put some files on it and do some editiing, it just seemed like too much trouble so I got a tiny flash drive that doesn't stick out past the rear panel but can still easily be removed.

Hi Guys!
I haven't updated this for awhile.. so I just thought I should update it and show you guys what I've done with my unraid machine!
I started this build to be the cheapest build possible.. buying $15 mobo with $35 cpu.. and $30 case... but boy, I ended up making this a monster build lol
Here is the picture i took last night
It now has.. 1 x AOC-SASLP-MV8, 1 x Vertex 3 120 GB, 9 x HDD's (all different sizes)
I also added 2 of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004IYJ...06_s02_i00
In the previous post, the case's very first external bay had reset button/usb ports/lights and all that, but i took that out. All I needed is power light + powerbutton anyway.
so that left me with 4 external bays.. that's why I went with that Vantec products. Instead of 4 hdd's in 3 bays, it'll let me put 6 hdds in 4 bays. Which works out for me.
Also, I wasn't sure if AOC-SASLP-MV8 would work with the board, but it actually does and it works very well. so if anyone's wondering, yes ECS H61H2-M2 works with AOC-SASLP-MV8
Now about the power, for a second there, I thought it may be weak.. but from what i tested, it spikes up to 190W in the boot and usually stays around 100W. Considering that CX 430 should be able to handle up to about 300W to 330W, I would say i am still safe with this power..
So here it is, My updated unraid server!
Now.. I just want to get 3 more hdd's just to fill up the case lol
ah crap. my case is dusty lol i should clean that up
