I have a P8Z68-V Pro and 8GB of ram on hand. I have a rather large case. I'm looking to make something that would hold 4-5 HDD's. I have a 600 watt power supply in the case but I'd like to replace it with something smaller and try to make this build as fanless as possible. This is an Intel 82579 LAN controller
I need to buy a CPU still for it.
Looking to use it for backups and in the near future steam movies and such to no more then 4 TV's (2 at once in most cases). Currently using a DS411+
This MB has
Intel® Z68 chipset :
2 x SATA 6Gb/s port(s), gray
4 x SATA 3Gb/s port(s), blue
Support Raid 0, 1, 5, 10
Support Intel® Smart Response Technology on 2nd generation Intel® Core™ processor family
Marvell® PCIe SATA 6Gb/s controller : *2
2 x SATA 6Gb/s port(s), navy blue
JMicron® JMB362 controller : *2
1 x eSATA 3Gb/s port(s), red
or would something smaller and all in one combo MB be a better fit?
