Trying again:
Chassis:
As of right now I cannot decide on a chassis. I will be expanding to more drives in the future when my finances permit me to do so. I don't want to spend $2000 on a chassis but have the capacity to expand and fit in more drives while saving money. In short, I have read (https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/hardware-recommendations-read-this-first.23069/) about the airflow importance, cooking up the drives. I am looking at two options right now with high difference in price. Hoping to get more input from the people who have built high storage server (50TB+) and are still expanding.
1. Supermicro 3U Chassis - Black CSE-836BE16-R920B for $1183.33
2.
Antec Nineteen Hundred Component Cases Nineteen Hundred Red Black/Red for $179.99
I know this wasn't the order in the hardware recommendations thread created but I am going to list my CPU cooler:
Corsair Hydro Series H100i GTX High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler CW-9060021-WW for $109.99
Motherboard:
I am looking to buy:
a. One with ECC RAM only
b. Future expansion
c. IPMI included on the board
d. Intel NIC boards only.
SuperMicro X10DRD-I-B Dual LGA2011 Intel C612 DDR4 SATA3 V&2GbE eATX Server Motherboard for $404.72
CPU:
Intel Xeon E5 Hexa Core Processor 3.5 6 LGA 2011 (BX80644E51650V3) for $597.78
Memory:
Again, I am having hard time selecting a brand. Strictly no no to Kingston. Looking at:
1.

Power Supply:
EVGA SuperNOVA 650 P2 80+ PLATINUM, 650W ECO Mode Fully Modular NVIDIA SLI and Crossfire Ready 10 Year Warranty Power Supply for $99.99

Storage:
10 WD 6TB Red
