PCI is completely useless. I recommend one of these:

That is obviously in the future though, you need drives first!

What USB drive do you plan to use?

I recommend a Sandisk USB drive. It has worked better for me than the other brands I tried with Unraid.

oh I bought the Lexar JumpDrive FireFly 4GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive $12.99 loaded unraid on it very easily, ran a 2 cycles of memtest , booted into the command terminal, but didn't hook it up to my network just yet so I couldn't log in via http://tower/

Spent a little more on mine...I originally got that silverstone case, but sent it back because it was junk (buttons broke the first day). Traded up for an axiontech or some such nonsense as that, put in a Biostar Ta750GX 3+ Mobo with a quad core phenom 2 processor, 8 gigs of ddr3, a Mygica HD Thriller Hybrid PCI card with Clear QAM and NTSC/ATSC(still haven't programmed the remote for XBMC if anyone wants to give me a heads up on that), replaced all the case fans with quiet aftermarket fans, and put one of those heat sink kits into it, originally had an Nmedia LED display, but my girlfriend pitched a fit because it was too bright while watching movies. Originally had an Nvidia 8800GT-S cards in it with dual dvi, but since I wanted HDMI for the TV input, I switched to two ATI Radeon HD 4670 cards linked with CrossfireX. Final touch was to install a Pioneer BD-RW combo drive.
