BUILD my first freenas build

[kling]

how's this look for a replacement power supply over the rosewill I listed earlier? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151119

It is a nice power supply.

Jonnyguru have made some tests.

hmn, not finding the part number for this memory anywhere except for on crucial's site: http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/x9scm-f/CT2570593

Use the Crucial tool to find out the specs for the recommended RAM for your given motherboard. Ignore the "short" part #... you'll never see this anywhere but Crucial's site.

Then, dig into the Crucial part catalog not by motherboard, by via those exact specs you got previously. Now you have the same item, but with a long "universal" part #. I usually open a 2nd tab so I can switch back and forth and confirm I got the same part (specs).

Search away at Amazon, NewEgg, etc using this longer part#. :)

just a quick reply. I reached out to seasonic last night to see if they sold extra sata power cables and they sent this link, for anyone who ever needs to buy seasonic cables: http://www.btosinte.com/Cables-for-PS2-power-supply_c7.htm

I find it odd that Seasonic would recommend a third-party vendor, but I'll keep this in mind, should I ever need cables for my Seasonic PSUs.

the response was that it's their distributor.

just a quick update. I'm going to keep and use the rosewill psu for a build that I'll put together for my wife's parents as a christmas present. I also ended up sending back the kingston memory to newegg for a store credit.

I ordered this power supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151119 and this memory: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148669

as soon as they come in, I'll be able to finally complete my build...
