I've been spending the last few days looking for hardware with good performance and less power consumption.
This is my current idea of a build:
Processor: Intel® Core™ i3-2120T (35W!)
Motherboard: Asus P8H77-I
Memory: Corsair DIMM 8 GB DDR3-1333 (CMX8GX3M2A1333C9) or Kingston HyperX DIMM 8 GB DDR3-1333 (KHX1333C9D3B1K2/8G) or Corsair DIMM 16 GB DDR3-1333 (CMX16GX3M2A1333C9)
Case: Lian Li PC-Q08B or Lian Li PC-Q25B
PSU: LC-Power Pro-Line LC7300 V2.3 Silver Shield 300W or bequiet! Pure Power L7-300W or FSP Fortron/Source FSP250-60EGA(90) 250W ATX 2.3
HDD: (4x or 6x) Samsung HD204UI 2 TB or Seagate ST2000DM001 2 TB
Power consumption should be max. ~150W.
What do you think?
Some questions:
Thanks a lot for your help!

What do you think?
Some questions:
- Since I can't expand the storage later on easily, I better go with 6 drives now, right?
- I read somewhere that FreeNAS supports encryption in the latest version. Do you know how much that will affect performance?
- And recommendations for a good Intel PCI-E NIC?
Thanks a lot for your help!
