Hi all, first time here !
I spent the last 24 hours reading hardware related posts and I still have some questions.
First, here's what I plan to build considering the following requirements :
1/ Chassis : Fractal Design ARC Mini R2 with hotswap in the 5.25 bay
2/ Motherboard : Supermicro X10SL7-F
3/ CPU : Intel E3-1275v3 (because I can get one at a very cool price =) )
4/ RAM : 16GB DDR3 (Is DDRL3 interesting ?), probably kingston
5/ Cooling : lots of silent fans. Is watercooling reliable ? (with kits from corsair ?)
6/ Disks : I don't know :)
My idea is to have 2 or 3 types of storage :
1/ fastest but less space, for server applications/VM/frequently accessed files... using 3 or more SSD
2/ Storage volume with SATA or SAS disk. Is SAS better/worse the price ? (never had the chance to compare SAS disks :/)
3/ Backup volume with SATA disks (is SAS used in (2))
Thanks for your help.

First, here's what I plan to build considering the following requirements :
- Compact (I don't have a lot of space)
- As quiet as possible (will be in my home office)
- Reasonable power consumption
