Well, I've been reading as much as I can, and I think I'm at the point where I have something not too crazy. Please feel free to correct me on this!
As discussed recently, this is for a home NAS functioning basically as a home fileserver, with little expectation of multiple concurrent users, transcoding, etc. However, I might run a small webserver in a jail off it as well, and will use it for Transmission, something like OwnCloud, etc. I did want a Mini ITX form factor; there's probably some overkill here but I hope I didn't go too nuts. So:
Case: SilverStone Technology Mini-ITX NAS Computer Case, Black (DS380B)
Motherboard: ASRock Rack Motherboard C236 WSI
CPU: Intel 3.70 GHz Core i3-6100 3M Cache Processor (BX80662I36100)
Memory: CRUCIAL TECHNOLOGY 16GBx2 32GB Kit, DDR4 2133 MT/s DIMM 288 (CT2K16G4DFD8213)
(sorry, that's the wrong link, to a non-ECC version. I got this: http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/ct16g4wfd8213)
Boot drive: SanDisk Ultra Fit 32GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive x 2
HDD: WD Red 4TB NAS Hard Disk Drive x 4, for a RAIDZ2 setup
PSU: Seasonic 360W 80PLUS Gold ATX12V Power Supply SSR-360GP
Silly question, as I've only ever built simple desktops before: Will I need to get SATA cables, or any other cables/small bits/screws that would be a PITA to get at the last minute when I realize I've forgotten it? What else am I forgetting?
Thanks for all input.
