Supermicro X7DCL-3 - $44
2x Intel Xenon X5130 - $15
6x 4Gb DDR2 PC2-5300 ECC RAM - $30
2x LGA771 Heatsink - $40
Corsair 450w PSU that makes funny noises when you move the mouse - $0
Rosewill 4U Server Case - $100
8x Hitachi 2TB - $37

Total: ~$525

4tb drives are too expensive.

First batch of 4 is in the caddy.

Each caddy has its own 120mm fan for cooling.

System: i7 930 with 24GB DDR3-1600
Drives: Adata 128GB SSD (boot), 10x3TB (various types), an old Seagate 1TB, and a pair of old 500GB drives I had laying around.

Doesn't run FreeNAS though, Debian with ZFS on Linux.

I love the case so far. It has indicator lights for NIC1 and NIC2, which actually work with the supermicro mobo even when its off.

SATA cable routing is done, on to power.

>>56607655
keep postin anon, im a sucker for server builds especially cheap dangerous ones
godspeed you beautiful man

>>56607817
there are 8 molex power connectors for fans in this case. every pin in every connector begs for death as I force them to mate with the psu cables.

I am only finished with the first 6 connectors at this time. 3 pins have already completely ejected from their molex housing upon attempted insertion.

I've now learned some things

The boot device "All USB" does nothing.
The supermicro mobo can only have 8 boot options at a time
You press x to disable an option so you can enable something else

Freenas boots pretty well so far.

I'm jealous OP. I dream of doing this sort of shit with my old hardware, but it never comes together quite right.

My current media machine is a mix of old/new parts, has some funky 15W embedded AMD cpu, no ECC ram, 4 cheap WD drives, and runs Linux rather than FreeNAS. Uses barely any power though, and the CPU is passively cooled so I have a case with one big-ass 200mm fan which is kind of nice I guess?

Also I recently learned that Mini-SAS connectors exist. My mind is pretty blown.
Why the fuck do we even have single SATA ports on motherboards anyway?

I'm debating whether I should build my own and use FreeNAS or just buy a Synology/QNAP premade and use their proprietary OS.

Could anyone spoonfeed me on smartphone compatibility? I know Qnap and Synology has apps that lets you access and upload to the NAS. I suppose I would like to give my parents access to at least semi-redundant storage but mother's not exactly in love with computer technology.

Is there an easy and secure way to upload files from your smartphone to FreeNAS?

pls hel

The raidz2 volume is now up and running. we lose a few TB for redundancy, but its worth it since these are refurbished drives and the chance that two could die at once is higher.

The 250gb ssd added as cache no problem, now I just need to set up decent performance reporting and do some speed tests.

You really should save 40 bucks and buy a new PSU though, Anthony.

But other than that, pretty sweet little file server.

>>56612758
just a heads up, i have a freenas box too. i used the gui updater about a week ago and when i restarted it went into a restart loop. so....use it at your own risk. back up your config before you update it.
