Well, with 6 SATA ports,...that passes my test!
I would not buy any MOBO for an unRaid system that has less than 6 ports.
and I should add,..the case also looks suitable for the many HDDs you'll need for an unRaid box.
It's just too bad that you can't opt out of the AVG anti-virus,..that would save another $30

Newegg has been doing this bundling lately with AVG that makes it look like a better deal than it is. The bundle claims that it saves $59.96 but $29.99 of that is AVG so it's really $30. Then you're stuck with that generic 350W power supply that's not even 80+. I think you can do better.

Sorry I do not like the case.... it would be better building your own.... airflow in that case does not look good.
