Dear visitors,
this will be my first selfmade computer and I want to build something great and robust. :) It should work as a pure and encrypted NAS-system for storing my photographic landscape-works, music and everything else. Probably I want to run some VM's in the future - we'll see! Have you ever tried to build such a compilation? The Skylake-CPU will work since the publication of FreeNAS 9.10 I think?
Especially the mainboard sounds quite interesting:
I want to use 4 or 5 HDD's in a Lian-Li housing with best possibility for silence (fanless PSU, Noiseblocker-fans, etc.)... For the memory, I would choose two Kingstons 8 GB-modules with ECC (KVR21E15D8) for enjoying the benefits of dual-channel-mode.
Do you have any recommendations for the CPU? Originally I wanted to buy a Xeon E3-1240L because of it's TDP with 25 W. Then I've red this thread and I was shocked about that news - now there should be a replacement with something else!
What do you think about?
I'm very happy about your answers, ideas and opinions! :)
With best regards!
Bobbi
