unRaid Update:
Installed mobo, ram, psu, and connectors into the case last night.
Plugged in the monitor and powered on,..and up comes the boot screen!
Woohoo, love it when it works the first time.
So no where the tricky part.
I booted into unRaid (and I was so glad it booted off of USB since this mobo is from 2003).
I directly connected the integrated NIC into the back of my Wireless DSL Router.
After boot up,..I didn't get an IP address.
I then disconnected and plugged in a Wireless USB stick, and after boot still no IP.
I then realized that even if wirless works, I'd need a way to enter my wireless networks WEP password.
I opened a question on the LimeTech Forum to see if anyoen runs wireless on their unRaid or if it's even supported.
So now I need to boot into Live Ubuntu and see if my direct lan connection will give me an IP.
That would show me that the integrated NIC is good.
If that does work, I then need to figure out why I get no IP, could be that intergrated NIC is not supported.
I'd then have to scrounge up a supported NIC card.
Got confirmation that the rest of my XBMC HTPC parts have been shipped and should arrive next Wednesday.
Can't wait to get that together.
