Alright guys, I've been lurking on this site and combing the web for about 3 months now and I believe it's time to place an order. I haven't yet researched the power supply but I'm guessing any 80 plus gold or platinum PS in the 650-750 watt range will do the trick (I'll do the math before placing an order).
So here we go! Please comment if you spot any problems with the build or unnecessarily under/over powered components or if there are any ways to save money on the build.
Case -- Fractal Design Define R5 $135
Mobo -- SuperMicro MBD-X11SSH-LN4F-O LGA 1151 Intel C236 $310
CPU -- Intel Xeon E3-1225 v5 SkyLake 3.3 GHz LGA 1151 80W $300
RAM -- 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM ECC DDR4 2133 or 2400 non-registered $200
HDDs -- 8x HGST Deskstar NAS 4TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" $1400
PS -- SeaSonic SSR-650RM 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready $114
For the OS I'll probably just run a SanDisk Cruzer Fit 16gb flash drive and if that causes problems the mobo has an M.2 port so I could go to a DOM.
I was considering going with the X11SSL-CF mobo but the Intel C232 is a concern and I don't know that I'll really need more than 8 SATA ports. My intention is to upgrade to 8x 8tb drives some time down the road but I don't know if I'll need to run ZIL or L2ARC drives? I'm guessing not but I imagine I could just get a PCIe card with more sata ports.
The X11SSH-CTF also looks awesome but costs about 150% of the X11SSL-CF and I imagine a 10G ethernet card will probably be available for pretty cheap by the time I'm ready to upgrade. I think this guy is just too expensive for what I'd be getting.
Right now I'm looking at about $2750 Canuckistani dollars after tax and shipping.
Config will be:
1x 8 drive RAIDZ2 zpool
Uses will be:
1. First and foremost, work/personal file backup and light file sharing through some sort of FTPish protocol.
2. Security camera system using 4 1080p POEIP surveillance cams (Ideally I would like to run ZoneMinder).
3. Run a torrent client
4. Stream movies over the network but probably not multiplexed, most likely to other computers in the house which will just access the files and play them off of the server. Probably to no more than 2 computers at a time.
5. Might encrypt a small amount of space for financial/sensitive documents that would be accessed infrequently (maybe 500gb which is probably massively overkill).
Pretty sure that will be the extent of this systems use.
