BUILD - 2013 i3 22nm 16GB ECC RAM 18TB Pico PS - 34W Idle
Posting this for others like me who are interested in a high-end, ECC, 6-disk, low-power, home server.
This build uses a 120W Pico power supply -- which saves 6W at idle vs. a 450W 80+ power supply.
I think the build could have been even lower power had the motherboard not included a Matrox video chip (which duplicates the i3 functionality and isn't needed for a NAS)...
Parts list below includes all the extra cables needed to make the Pico power supply work.
Cheers,
Alchete
