sempron is enough for unRAID...
but if u plan on using extra stuff on your server like,
addons like SAB/SICK/COUCH, then,
best to go for a DUAL-CORE CPU...
ATHLON X2 250
and yes, at $90 shipped, its the lowest i've ever seen it!
now it the time!

If you do the setup and change it out to a dual core AMD Athlon II X2 250 Regor 3.0GHz Socket AM3 65W it brings the price of this build to $236.95(196.95 after MIR). You could start off with 4 hdds and then add more down the line by adding the sata card from Monoprice listed on the 1st page. That HP deal was a steal that is why it is sold out now. I haven't seen them do the $100 price drop on it ever.

Hey guys...since we're on the subject of SFF unRAID.. I need to replace the 2port SATAII PCIe card i currently have for unRAID with a 4port option. i want to add a cache drive and possibly one additional data drive. The MOBO+GPUi I'm using is the same one recommended in this thread ZOTAC GF6100-E-E AM2+/AM2 nForce 430 MCP Mini-ITX.
Ques #1: Is this possible/compatible with unRAID?
Quest#2: If it is possible, which 4port option would be compatible with this MOBO?
.....i dont like problems

Can the 5.25 optical drive bay be used as an additional drive bay resulting in 7 drive capacity? Sorry if this was already mentioned.

That's a PCI card. You need a PCIe card for the recommended motherboard on this thread.

Ah that makes sense. Why is a 4 port sata pci-e card so much more expensive ?
